The special event will see musical and screen stars celebrate the life of the revered song-maker, who passed away late last year.
Matthew Bourne and Maria Friedman staged the one-night-only show, which had choreography by Stephen Mear, musical supervision by Stephen Brooker, arrangements by Stephen Metcalfe, projection design by George Reeve, set design by Matt Kinley, lighting by Warren Letton and sound by Mick Potter with the evening produced by Cameron Mackintosh.
A 26-piece orchestra was conducted by Alfonso Casado Trigo for the event, which raised funds for the Stephen Sondheim Foundation (established under the writer's will), which assists emerging writers, and musicians.

Aww 🥰 Maria Friedman saying I love you to Julia MacKenzie 🥰
I'm with you lovely I adore that I love them both so much 🤗🥰🥺❤
Oh Petula Clark 🙏👏👏👏
I was an operator on this show and it was definitely one of the most memorable concerts I’ve ever worked on. Everyone was in such high spirits. I welled up a bit when the director cut up the shot at 1:59, just something about it at that point in the show just hit me in the soul. I really, really hope they keep it in for the final cut. It will be released at a later date, they just didn’t have the rights clearances for the whole show at the time.
I am really looking forward to watching the filmed performance of Sondheim's Old Friends on New Year's Eve (Saturday 31st December 2022) at 5:35pm on BBC Two
My friend & fellow thespian Lea Salonga will be doing this show again this fall headlining with Bernadette Peters.
the best theatre experiance ive ever had. It was just magic
Oh, it absolutely was. I'm still on Cloud Nine!!
This was very wonderful. My daughter and I went to see Old Friends yesterday at the Gielgud Theatre. What a fabulous show, an outstanding tribute to Stephen Sondheim. So glad I booked the last night too! Please go, it’s such a spectacle.
An amazing evening. It seemed like a never-ending experience of stars and showstoppers (literally). Such a privilege to be there.
Helena ❤️❤️❤️
This makes my heart hurt, how unbelievably special! 😍 I would have given the world to be there xxx

Was very lucky to be there, such an extraordinary and emotional night. What a cast.
I hope they release this entire concert. Seeing this clip reminds me of the 1998 "Hey, Mr. Producer!" concert with some of the same familiar faces and it gives me goosebumps!

On this evening lovey at 5.30pm , New Years Eve 2022! BBC 2! Sending Regards and Blessings to you and all your loved ones! Happy New Year!
One of the first shows I ever saw was Company - at the Alvin Theatre in NYC, and a few months later I saw Follies at the Winter Garden. Absofreakinglutely Loved both!!! As a freshman in high school, in both cases i knew they were *cool* , and *important* shows, and also realized that the vast majority of it went over my head...lolol
Fall of 1973, same experience with Night Music - *loved* it!!!...but, even as a senior in high school, I knew it was grownup relationship stuff.
That began a lifelong love affair for me. I've acted/sung in Sondheim shows, Directed, and done a Lot of Music Direction of them - everyone a gem - every revisit exciting, full of new revelations.
Can not Wait for this to be released!
😎😎😎
So proud to have an Indonesian lady in this performance.. Go Desmonda Cathabel! Semangat!
The goddess known as Bernadette Peters is 74 years old. She looks amazing. I know it doesn't matter. Jus' sayin'
No way! Holy God! She is no different God bless her! Love her! Helena. Miss Dame Angela what a lady and legend! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Amazing well done all of you xxc
It is going to be on BBC2 at 5.30pm, so I hope you set your record button! It is sad Dame Angela isn't there. God Bless her too! God thank you for the joy she and Stephen gave us all! We are blessed they were among us in our time! Happy New Year to you all! May you be blessed with love, great health and happiness! God/Allah/Buddah/Mother Earth, be with you through 2023. I hope peace comes to poor Ukraine and other countries suffering under tyrants! Lets be kinder to each other, ourselves and just care about each other. Spread light people! HAPPIEST NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL! XX

Love love love this song
Wonderful event, though I'm surprised Anna-Jane Casey wasn't in the front group. She's hidden in the back with the "chorus," and it doesn't seem right.
RELEASE MORE CLIPS
