ASMALLWORLD invites you to an unmissable night on Broadway as Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends takes the stage for a limited engagement.

Following celebrated performances in London and Los Angeles, this Tony-worthy production finally arrives in New York with an all-star cast led by the legendary Bernadette Peters and Lea Salonga.

With musical numbers from beloved shows like Sweeney Todd, Company and Into the Woods, this show is more than a tribute — it’s “a feast” (Variety) and “a superbly sung Broadway party” (The New York Times). The production is devised by Cameron Mackintosh, directed and staged by Matthew Bourne, and features choreography by Stephen Mear.

This performance has been nominated for multiple 2025 Drama League Awards, including Outstanding Production of a Musical and Distinguished Performance.

Enjoy an evening of theatrical brilliance with a selection of ASMALLWORLD seats reserved exclusively for our members.

An unmissable musical extravaganza from London to Los Angeles, and now on Broadway for a limited engagement, Stephen Sondheim's Old Friends is "a supremely entertaining and divine celebration of the Stephen Sondheim legacy” (The New York Post).
