This is in addition to two week extension announced earlier this week and making a total run of eight weeks. Mostly Sondheim, which received rave reviews in the U.S., continues Stephen Sondheim's 70th birthday celebrations, offering selections of is own work combined with pieces from the Great American Songbook that "he wishes he had written" - all delivered in the flawless soprano voice which has won Barbara Cook a place in musical history. Accompanied by Wally Harper on piano.

Since 1974, in collaboration with Musical Director Wally Harper, she has made critically acclaimed appearances at Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall, Sadler's Wells and the Albery Theatre, where her one woman show was nominated for an Olivier Award. Together their recordings include It's Better With a Band, Oscar Winners: The Lyrics of Oscar Hammerstein, Champion Season: A Salute to Gower Champion and their latest, Mostly Sondheim.
