    Every time I see Bernadette I find it impossible to believe her age. And Petula is looking amazing for almost 90! I hope I look half as good.

    This song, my god. And they all look like they truly are old friends, too - a lot of them will be. Look for Imelda and Michael clearly being in love with each other, and EVERYONE'S reverence for Julia McKenzie

    Cameron Mackintosh hinted to the Guardian that there are discussions to be had about letting the public see it. As well they should!

    Thanks for sharing this. I was there, and spoke to one of the cameramen afterwards. He assured me that the footage was going to be edited for "a future use other than just the live screening", but he didn't know details. Presumably he works for the company hired to do the filming, so is probably right. Let's hope. It was the night of nights!

    Oh, what can I say? Thank you for posting this. I was at the live screening in a theatre down the road but such was the standard of filming, I forgot I wasn't really there. What a wealth of talent. I thought the theatre would burst with it. A big thank you to all who took part for free (money went to the Sondheim Foundation) and the great Cameron Macintosh for putting it all together. It was definitely one of the best experiences I've had at the theatre and I've been to a LOT!

    How wonderful! How thrilled I believe Mr. Sondheim would be to have yet another theatre named for him...and to see all these artists he''s worked with come together in a celebratory way to remember him! I really pray they will allow us to see it. I'd even pay to see it.....! No questions asked! Thank you so very much for posting it!

      Eric, some folks remain youthful appearing throughout their lives. Including myself at nearly age 70. Strangers learning my age thinking I was age 50 something or age 60. My point is there're those of us who are not your "us".

    Likewise I was “down the road” at the live screening. It was excellent. So many great numbers but Imelda Staunton singing “Coming Up Roses” was the absolute highlight. It ranked with Ethel Merman.

      we know you do. reading your comments on anything to do with Michael Ball makes my day
      but sometimes you scare me. some of your comments stray near the stalker line. are you an adult
      or a demented teenager.

      @@terrybrowning-e9b How rude your remark was! She is just a big fan of Michael and there's not a thing wrong with that. Here the definition of a stalker: "Stalking is a pattern of repeated and unwanted attention, harassment, contact, or any other course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear,” according to the Department of Justice." Somehow I don't think Michael would feel any "fear" from her.
