Did you know that Stephen Sondheim wanted to turn "Groundhog Day" into a musical? That project didn't go ahead, but it's interesting to wonder what fans of his shows would've made of it!
One show that very much went ahead for Sondheim was "Follies", and CMATC is really excited to be bringing this to Chester Town Hall in October - tickets available now at: https://www.ticketsource.com/chestermtc
