SSSSPOTY is back for its 18th year! Once again, the best young performers from across the UK assemble in the Sondheim Theatre for an afternoon celebrating the legendary composer-lyricist… and one of them will be crowned the Stephen Sondheim Society Student Performer of the Year!

The 12 student finalists will be guided through their songs by Musical Director Nigel Lilley (Follies, Company, Next to Normal, Hello, Dolly!) and heading up the panel of celebrity judges as Chair of the Jury will be writer and broadcaster Edward Seckerson. Joining Edward in the judges' box will be Sondheim Society patron, Olivier winner and Tony nominee Jenna Russell (Sondheim on Sondheim, Merrily We Roll Along, Sunday in the Park with George), who will also be handing over the prizes.

To help us celebrate the work of Sondheim will be an ensemble from the National Youth Music Theatre, and songwriters from the New UK Musicals stable will provide the competitors with a recently written song to complement their Sondheim number. Look out, too, for some special guests!

So, join us for a spectacular gala final in a competition that has already recognised winners such as Taron Egerton (Rocketman, Kingsman), Erin Doherty (The Crown, Chloe, Les Misérables), Alex Young (Follies, Into the Woods, Standing at Sky’s Edge) and Courtney Bowman (Pretty Woman, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Legally Blonde). This is your chance to say: “I saw them here first!”

The Sondheim Theatre is a large West End theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue, occupying the corner site which meets with Wardour Street.

Opening in 1907 and designed by W.G.R Sprague, the theatre was originally a twin with the neighbouring Hicks Theatre, now known as the Gielgud Theatre. However, this isn’t the only name change amongst them – the Sondheim was supposed to be called the Central Theatre but was eventually changed to the Queen’s. In recognition of this alteration, and its royal namesake, the theatre has a portrait of Queen Alexandra which hangs in the foyer.

In September 1940, the theatre’s façade and lobby was destroyed when it was hit directly with a bomb in the Blitz. This led to the 20-year closure of the theatre until its reconstruction and refurbishment. Matching the old with the new, the Edwardian décor remained but the lobbies and exterior were built in a more modern style. In July 1959, the rebuilt theatre was opened to the public with John Gielgud’s solo performance of Shakespeare speeches and sonnets, called Ages Of Man.

Since the reopening of the theatre, the building has been noted for its unique architecture and design. Notably, this includes the ceiling detail of the auditorium which has elaborate statues above the seated audience. The theatre also went through further renovations in 2009 in order to boost the capacity of the theatre, including the restoration of its premium boxes.

Cameron Mackintosh’s production of Les Misérables arrived at the then-Queen’s Theatre in 2004 and famously celebrated its 20th anniversary performance there on 8 October 2005. By 2012, the show had attained an incredible 11,000 performances in London. In 2006, the show overtook Cats to become the longest-running musical of all time. The Queen's Theatre was renamed the Sondheim in 2019.
