Stephen Sondheim is to have a theatre named after him in London, funded by Cameron Mackintosh. Having run out of space to build theatres, they are building it on top of a block on Shaftesbury Avenue, in between the Queen's and Gielgud Theatres.

it figures it would be in the West End and not NYC. American anti-intellectualism is so strong! As always, a "prophet unappreciated in his own country"....

If you don't think I'm a total Steve Queen by now, check out my rant on his ASSASSINS in another thread.

Actually the article says the SONDHEIM THEATRE will be on top of the QUEEN'S.....no surprise there, eh?

actually, from what I've heard, Sondheim on top is not how it usually happens. I could be wrong, it's just hearsay....

I was taking a wild guess there...but will graciously stand corrected!

whatever can you mean, Butzboy? I never said anything about that. What you inferred was your own dirty business. *wink* A gentleman never tells, Max. Discretion is the better part of valor.

It looks more like it could be a regional theatre.
