I would expect Lee's been invited to appear at some, if not all (LOL) of the UK galas in celebration of Stephen Sondheim's 80th birthday this year. There are several scheduled on a Sunday, but right around the time when he's still on tour in LASC or early May when Den is expecting and he'll be in rehearsals for Wicked:
April 4th in Northampton (outside of London, but Maria Friedman is headlining w/the Royal Philharmonic)
April 11th at the London Palladium
May 2nd at the Royal Albert Hall
Although he obviously won't be able to do the revival of "Passion" at the Donmar (w/Elena Roger as Fosca), he could still do either (or both) of these:
Sunday, Oct. 31 - A concert performance of "Company"
Sunday, Nov. 7 - A concert performance of "Merrily We Roll Along"
I'd love to hear him singing any of the classic Sondheim songs, esp. "Being Alive". That song (and role) requires a powerhouse actor and singer to do it justice. I was horrified that Seamus got this song in ADWD. What a wasted opportunity. Although, it would've been interesting to see all the finalists do the same MT showstopper. Would've separated the men from the boys too easily, though!
