Stephen Sondheim's OLD FRIENDS: Lea Salonga in conversation with Frank DiLella

Monday, May 5, 2025
7:30 – 9PM

Tony Award winner Lea Salonga – beloved for her work on Broadway in Miss Saigon, Les Misérables, Here Lies Love, and more – joins them with 11-time Emmy Award-winning host of NY1’s On Stage Frank DiLella to talk about her role in the new Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.

Salonga is fresh off a triumphant run in the London production of the show – Cameron Mackintosh’s musical revue and love letter to Sondheim – where she starred with Bernadette Peters, with whom she now shares the spotlight again. Hear Salonga talk with DiLella about the show’s evolution from star-studded gala to wildly successful West End production to Broadway, her love of Sondheim, working alongside Peters, and much more. It’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes look at this “great big Broadway show” and valentine to a musical theater god.
