The Grand Final of the 16th annual Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year competition - aka SSSSPOTY - will once again be staged in the gorgeous Sondheim Theatre in London's Shaftesbury Avenue. Twelve of the finest students of musical theatre and drama will take to the Les Mis stage and compete for this coveted title plus a £1,000 first prize. Previous winners inlude Taron Egerton, Alex Young, Erin Doherty and Courtney Bowman, so this is your chance to say "I saw them here first!"
It's a wonderful afternoon of Sondheim favourites plus - at Steve's insistence - a selection of recent and new writing for the stage, courtesy of the composers and lyricists from New UK Musicals. There will also be performances from this year's cohort from the National Youth Music Theatre (who are staging INTO THE WOODS later in the summer) and a guest solo or two, and keeping everything ticking along is host BONNIE LANGFORD!
Judging the event will be a panel of West End professionals headed up by critic and broadcaster EDWARD SECKERSON, and leading the student through their songs will be Musical Director NIGEL LILLEY, and the afternoon will be under the deft control of Director Hannah Chissick.
Tickets start at just £19.75 - with top-price premium seats less than £40 - so it's also your chance to experience the West End at a fantastically low rate. All we ask if that your cheer along your favourite performers.
