For Two weeks only, the words and music of titan composers Leonard Bernstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Stephen Sondheim will be celebrated in a new show at the Theatre on the Bay called “Lenny, Andrew, Steve and me”. The show has been put together by Jonathan Roxmouth who will be joined on stage by pianist Louis Zurnamer. These two talented people have worked together many times to great acclaim and Louis Zurnamer is a much respected music director and conductor who has worked on major shows such as Phantom of the Opera, Hair, Chess, Cats, Beauty and the Beast and, most recently, Evita.

Rodney Trudgeon caught up with Louis Zurnamer while he is in Cape Town for this show and during a break in the international tour of Evita.
