Live Comedy Day has been announced as a new annual celebration of the UK’s live comedy industry. Established by the Live Comedy Association in partnership with BBC Radio 4, the inaugural event will take place nationwide on 1 April 2026.

Stephen Sondheim’s fabulous music is presented in a different ‘light’ as songs from across four decades of the maestro’s work come together for PUTTING IT TOGETHER.

This season, three plays are receiving Broadway debuts which already made significant noise off-Broadway in their original productions, years ago. Becky Shaw, Bug, and Marjorie Prime will all be opening on Broadway in early 2026 in brand new productions. The first and last are spending time on Broadway at the Hayes under the auspices of Second Stage while Bug is being presented by Manhattan Theatre Club at their home, the Friedman. 

A celebration of Stephen Sondheim's greatest work, Putting It Together, is coming to Sydney's Foundry Theatre in January. Learn more about the upcoming performance here!
