A Broadway Legend Reclaims the Spotlight

In Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends, her musical revue became one of the most graze-inspiring productions, which was the eagerly anticipated musical revue Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends.

A Show That Celebrates Sondheim’s Legacy
The musical revue, which was originally a London gala, has become one of the hottest shows on Broadway of 2025.

Indeed, one of the reasons why this performance is a total tear-jerker is that Peters knows it’s what she used to do to herself when talking to her deceased friend, the legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who unfortunately left us all in 2021. In a recent interview, Peters said that there were plenty of things that she could rarely resist doing and that she still kept her old friend dearly by her side every time she acted on a stage.
“I miss him a lot,” admitted Peters. “His music was really inspiring and it’s quite a privilege to hold his concerts and keep performing his songs.”
Upcoming Appearances and Concerts
