THE West End is coming to Stevenage next week.
For four nights the Gordon Craig Theatre will stage Side by Side by Sondheim with performers from the West End.

Director Paul Laidlaw told The Comet: "It was first done 30 years ago in London as a tribute to the great lyricist and composer Stephen Sondheim to show what a genius he is.
