Edward Seckerson conducted one of the last major interviews with Leonard Bernstein less than one year before his death in 1990 and it is that memorable encounter that will be at the heart of this intimate musical evening. To mark Bernstein's forthcoming centenary, broadcaster Edward Seckerson, musical director Jason Carr and West End star Sophie-Louise Dann celebrate the musical superman who bestrode the Broadway stage as whole-heartedly and adeptly as he did the world's great concert halls. Through a cocktail of stories and songs performed live, the show explores the life and music of this extraordinary composer, conductor, pianist, teacher, father and activist. Including songs from West Side Story, Candide, On The Town and Wonderful Town, as well as rarities from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Peter Pan, Mass and Trouble in Tahiti.
