A Little Night Music

Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Book by Hugh Wheeler
directed by Louis Craig, musical direction by Gary Nock

Sondheim creates a stunning tour de force when he takes Ingmar Bergman's comedy of manners, Smiles of a Summer Night, and turns it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Winner of four Tony Awards, this is a musical work that has forever entranced the world of theatre.

Stephen Sondheim took Ingmar Bergman's comedy of manners, Smiles of a Summer Night, and turned it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik's town, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles and ignites a flurry of jealousy and suspicion. Full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire.
