According to the MTC website, it is A SPECIAL BENEFIT PERFORMANCE with cocktails at 5pm and show at 6pm.

Sorry if this has already been asked/answered, but is there any possibility of this extending? It's such a short run and seems to be selling incredibly well.

I think it's very possible they might try to replace Lea (who needs to do Into the Woods in the Philippines) and extend in same theatre or different (not sure how long theatre is empty).
 

Would be good if they can get another Sondheim heavy-hitter such as Donna Murphy or Patti LuPone.

Would be cool if they were filming it.

Wasn’t this already filmed in London?  Or an earlier version?

The original Gala concert of STEPHEN SONDHEIM'S OLD FRIENDS (I think it was May 2022) was a starry, one night only event and it was filmed. There is also an album.

I hope they do at least a cast recording or something. I prefer what they are doing with this production than what the original concert was….
