The South Bank Show S40E04 · Sonia Friedman

Overview

Sonia Friedman is a multi-award winning theatre producer who, in the past 20 years, has been unrivaled in her success of bringing new work to the West End with productions such as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, The Ferryman, and Jerusalem to name but a few. Born in London into an extraordinarily creative family, Sonia began working in the theatre in her teens. By her early 20s, she was already producing national tours and by the middle of the 90s she had broken into the West End. Melvyn follows Sonia from her sell-out production of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child in London to Broadway. They examine the shows that worked - and ones that didn't - as well as the risks of bringing new work to the West End.
