Putting It Together is a dazzling celebration of Stephen Sondheim’s greatest work. Set at a glamorous cocktail party in an elegant Upper East Side New York apartment. The show blends wit, charm, and razor-sharp insight as the cast navigate the complexities of love, ambition, and desire.
Featuring a seamless revue of Sondheim’s most iconic songs, audiences are taken on a journey through the genius of one of musical theatre’s most influential composers and lyricists. Brought to life by two pianos and a percussionist whose virtuosic playing drives the score with energy, sophistication and bite, all wrapped within a clever and intimate story.
Staged in the Foundry Theatre, this production places audiences right inside the apartment itself. The theatre’s close, atmospheric setting transforms the experience into something thrillingly immersive - as if you’ve been invited to the cocktail party, seated among the guests, privy to every glance, aside and perfectly timed musical moment. It’s Sondheim as it was meant to be experienced: stylish, intimate and irresistibly alive.
This once-in-a-lifetime event brings together some of Australia’s finest performers: Caroline O’Connor (Chicago, Sweeney Todd, Anything Goes, Hello Dolly, 9 to 5), Michael Cormick (The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard, Beauty and the Beast), Nigel Huckle (Les Misérables, West Side Story, South Pacific), Bert LaBonté (Moulin Rouge!, The Book of Mormon, An Officer and a Gentleman), and Stefanie Caccamo (The Lord of the Rings, Once, Into the Woods). Together, they deliver extraordinary vocal power, charisma, and artistry to Sondheim’s timeless score. Their combined talent transforms the production into an unmissable theatrical experience — a stunning musical celebration of both Sondheim’s brilliance and the best of Australian stage talent.

What time do I need to arrive before a show?
We recommend that you arrive at least 15-30 minutes before the performance starts – or earlier if you would like to enjoy a drink in one of the theatre’s licensed bars.
What if I'm late and the performance has started?
Live theatre has a ‘lock-out’ policy; a period after the curtain goes up when late-comers are not permitted to enter the auditorium. Lock-out periods are set by the production and vary from show to show. Patrons arriving late will be admitted when there’s a suitable break in the performance.
