Signature Theatre Honors Legends

The Amazing Actress Angela Lansbury currently set to star on Broadway with Catherine Zeta-Jones in A Little Night Music is receiving the first ever Stephen Sondheim Award by the Signature Theatre.

Signature Theatre announced the news today!

Sondheim had this to say, “Angela Lansbury’s first appearance on the musical stage was in a show called ‘Anyone Can Whistle,’ for which I wrote the score. That appearance was a gift to the musical theater, although perhaps not such a gift to her, since the show only ran for nine performances,” Sondheim said in a statement, referring to his 1964 musical. “I am thrilled that Signature Theatre is helping me make it up to her by giving her the first Stephen Sondheim Award.”
