The Menier Chocolate Factory have announced the extension of the world première of their brand-new show Maria Friedman & Friends – Legacy until 17 April due to popular demand.

Celebrating the brilliance of Marvin Hamlisch, Michel Legrand and Stephen Sondheim, the extension comes hot on the heels of the announcement that Friedman will direct Daniel Radcliffe as Charley in Merrily We Roll Along at New York Theatre Workshop this Autumn, in a production based on her multiple award-wining production at the Menier.

Three-time Olivier Award winner Maria Friedman was a friend and collaborator with these extraordinary composers. This unique event will see her showcase many of their greatest works – including ‘Broadway Baby’, ‘Losing My Mind’, ‘A Piece Of Sky’ and ‘Nothing’ – with entertaining and personal memories that make a Friedman cabaret a night to remember.

Collaborating with musical director and pianist Theo Jamieson, and with fellow performers Matthew White, Ian McLarnon, Alfie Friedman and Desmonda Cathabel, and a choir from the Royal Academy of Music, this show promises to be a celebration worthy of some of the greatest composers of the 20th century. Jamieson will be accompanied by Paul Moylan on Double Bass, and James Powell on Percussion.
