Cameron Mackintosh says ''Old Friends'' ''was Steve’s idea. The idea for ‘Old Friends’ came during COVID when Steve was stuck in Connecticut and I was stuck in my farm in Somerset, wondering when the theaters were ever gonna reopen. He said, ‘Look, what about doing a third revue? Because we might as well. We haven’t done one since ‘Putting It Together.’ Look, there’s all that material, and let’s do something that would end a trio.’”
Between ''Putting It Together'' and ''Old Friends,'' there WAS ''Sondheim on Sondheim'' (2010), but that was directed/conceived by James Lapine. |
