London return for Tim McArthur’s Sondheim’s Divas

Actor, presenter and cabaret performer Tim McArthur will take his celebration of Stephen Sondheim’s leading ladies to London’s Hippodrome for one night only later this month.

The Sondheim aficionado, known for hosting the popular Sondheim Society’s monthly Cabaret Nights for three years, will step into the spotlight once again with his Sondheim’s Divas show on 29 May 2022.

Previously seen at the Arts Theatre in London, the Pride Arts Centre in Chicago, the Tada Theatre in New York, and on a mini-UK tour last year, the show showcases the showstopping songs usually performed by Sondheim’s female characters. The show’s musical director is Aaron Clingham.

Official programmer of the Cabaret Lounge at Above The Stag Theatre in London since October 2020, McArthur’s acting credits include appearances in Sondheim shows including Into the Woods, Assassins and Company.

Also known for presenting the Curtain Up weekly radio show on Resonance FM, McArthur has performed solo shows at venues on both sides of the Atlantic and directed a range of productions at home including popular cabaret show Eurovision Your Decision and a production of Sondheim’s Into the Woods.
