It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about A Little Night Music that makes it such a special show. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, it is glorious from start to finish with quirky moments and a peaceful edge.

Alex Parker's latest concert saw a cast of fresh and established West End talent take to the St James Theatre alongside a sublime orchestra to celebrate the career and music of Marvin Hamlisch. Prior to seeing last year's West End revival of A Chorus Line I was unfamiliar with Hamlisch's work; however, after falling in love with the show I soon discovered just how extraordinarily varied his career was.
