Meryl Streep celebrated Stephen Sondheim's b'day in a bathrobe!

As music composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim clocked his 90th birthday recently, actor Meryl Streep along with Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald celebrated his special day in vogue. In a twist of events, Streep and Baranski opted for bathrobes to perform on his birthday.

Los Angeles: Oscar winning-actor Meryl Streep along with actor Christine Baranski rang in composer Stephen Sondheim's 90th birthday in full style.

Instead of wearing perfectly fitted dresses, the two actors chose to sport bathrobes to perform the rendition of The Ladies Who Lunch during Sondheim's virtual birthday celebration Take Me to the World: A Sondheim 90th Birthday Celebration, according to news reports.

Streep and Baranski were joined by actor Audra McDonald, who sipped on drinks during their performance on Sondheim's musical Company.

Baranski chose to sip on a glass of red wine and Streep had a martini while McDonald drank right straight from the bottle.

The event faced a gamut of technical issues in the beginning.

The event started late by 35 minutes when actor and host Raul Esparza randomly appeared live land was seen chatting to Sondheim without knowing he was live.

Esparza once again spoke to the camera, after the first performance, but a glitch made him completely mute, which made him walk off and the live event switched off.

Several Hollywood personalities took to Twitter to share their views.

Actor Lin-Manuel Miranda tweeted: "Hope someone is rolling on the Noises Off production happening right now at #Sondheim90Concert. My heart hurts for Raul on the tech stuff, who has put together by all accounts an unforgettable show. I really can't wait to see it. But the WORK WAITS… #Sondheim90Concert."
