Judi Dench
Dame Judi Dench has signed up to perform in a concert dedicated to iconic composer Stephen Sondheim in London on Saturday (31Jul10).
The Bond star, who appeared in a West End production of Sondheim's A Little Night Music in 1995, has agreed to sing the show's well-loved number, Send In The Clowns, at the event.
The concert, part of the BBC Proms festival, will be held to mark the music legend's 80th birthday, which he celebrated in March (10).
Dench admits she's honoured to be taking part, but she's nervous about singing the famous song again.
She says, "(It's) hugely exciting (but) daunting.
"His impact on musical theatre can never be overstated and I'm delighted to be part of his 80th birthday celebrations at the BBC Proms."
