TV favourite Su Pollard will be joined by Marianne Benedict (Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, The Wizard of Oz and We Will Rock You) and Grant McConvey (highly commended at the Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year) for the 2015 London revival of Side By Side By Sondheim at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre in south London (Tuesday 8 to Saturday 26 September, press night is 11 September).
Su Pollard said: “It’s just a joy to come into rehearsals, have a fantastic team and work ethic. Everybody’s really helping each other, we’re very joyful, interested, excited and it makes a real change to do some challenging, fun numbers.”
The show will be directed by Elliot Clay, the artistic director of The AC Group. Choreography and musical staging will be provided by Anthony Whiteman (Bye Bye Birdie – Ye Olde Rose & Crown Theatre, Spring Awakening – Lawrence Hall, In the Dead of Night – Landor and Bel Ami – Charing Cross Theatre).
Side By Side By Sondheim has a set design by Harriet Moar-Smith, sound by Jack Lord and lighting by Ben Jacobs.
The production will be narrated by one of the show’s original creators, Stuart Pedlar, who is also the show’s musical director. Pedlar has worked with Stephen Sondheim for more than 40 years and boasts credits such as the original London productions of A Little Night Music and Sweeney Todd.
