Being Alive


An exquisitely moving and exhilarating concert of songs by the greatest musical theatre mind of all.

Being Alive celebrates Hayes audiences’ love affair with Sondheim, following acclaimed, award-winning, and sold-out seasons of Assassins (2017), Merrily We Roll Along (2021), and A Little Night Music (2023).

After directing a host of Sondheim musicals across her career, Sonya Suares (The Lucky Country) works with four extraordinary performers to honour the great man’s legacy. Musical Director Luke Byrne leads a refined and intimate three-piece band for this unique concert event.

How startling and original all of his work is. He didn't comply with styles. He created them.
