SONDHEIM'S SATURDAY NIGHT - WEST END TRANSFER!
Jo has recently been playing Celeste in a sell-out revival of Sondheim's first musical 'Saturday Night' at the Jermyn Street Theatre', and it enjoyed a successful transfer to the Arts Theatre Leicester Square and then Theatre Royal Windsor. Stephen Sondheim came to see the show and meet the cast.
It was produced by Primavera Productions and directed by Tom Littler, who is currently assisting Trevor Nunn on 'A Little Night Music' (www.menierchocolatefactory.com/a_little_night_music).
See www.primaveraproductions.com/ for more information about the production company or www.saturdaynightmusical.com/ for information about the show.
