Side By Side By Sondheim – Exclusive backstage video interviews

Last week at Sydney’s Theatre Royal, Enda Markey produced a star studded charity performance of Side By Side By Sondheim to raise funds and awareness for The White Ribbon Foundation – Australia’s campaign to stop violence against women.

Led by Broadway and West End star Ruthie Henshall, the concert was peppered with performers from some of Australia’s most successful musicals.

AussieTheatre.com’s media team were granted exclusive backstage access to the event, and today we bring you the first of two videos featuring interviews with cast members from the special one-off event.

Ben Neutze interviews Winners and Losers star Virginia Gay, Love Never Dies‘ Anna O’Byrne, Hairspray’s Gary Scale and Australia’s much love star of the stage and screen, Amanda Muggleton.
