Old Friends

Nominated for Best New Entertainment or Comedy Play at the Olivier Awards 2024

Following a massive triumph at the 2023 WhatsOnStage Awards, OLD FRIENDS will open for 16 weeks only from 21st September 2023 – 6 January 2024 at the Gielgud Theatre.

Devised and produced by Cameron Mackintosh, OLD FRIENDS will feature an all-star cast. Damian Humbley, Bradley Jaden, Gavin Lee and Jason Pennycooke will join Broadway legends Bernadette Peters, who is appearing in a West End run for the first time in her legendary career, and Lea Salonga who is appearing for the first time in 27 years. Co-stars include Christine Allado, Janie Dee, Bonnie Langford and Jeremy Secomb. The company will also include Beatrice Penny-Touré, Joanna Riding, Jac Yarrow, Marley Fenton, Harry Apps, Bella Brown and Monique Young completing a cast that is truly the best of the West End and Broadway.

The thrilling, joyously staged Gala of Stephen Sondheim’s OLD FRIENDS in 2022 sold out within a couple of hours, leaving thousands of disappointed fans unable to get tickets. Now by popular demand, audiences will have another chance to see the never to be forgotten and one of the most talked about theatrical events of the year.
