LAMDA in association with LIVEWIRE Prods present Miscast Sondheim at Forest Theatre, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show takes Sondheim's most beloved music and turns it on its head: ingénues become villains, villains deliver delicate ballads and comic sidekicks step into tragedy. Iconic numbers including Broadway Baby, Being Alive and Ladies Who Lunch are reimagined in a cabaret-style format by LAMDA's musical theatre ensemble. A chance to see emerging talent in action before they break through. Runs for 50 minutes. Suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
Sondheim's songs are vivid enough to survive almost any reinterpretation — here they are handed to the wrong characters entirely, which throws them into sharp and often surprising relief. A cabaret-style treat performed by LAMDA's next generation of musical theatre artists.
