A Little Night Music is a hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving musical full of moments of adoration, regret and desire. Set in 1901 Sweden, it 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. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Desirée; Fredrik; Fredrick’s wife, Anne; Desirée’s current lover, the Count; and the Count’s wife, Charlotte. Both men – as well as their jealous wives – agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée’s mother’s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises. Our new production offers an intimate and fresh take on this dramatic musical celebration of love and life featuring Stephen Sondheim’s brilliant score, including his haunting masterpiece “Send in the Clowns.” The original 1973 Broadway production of A Little Night Music was directed by Harold Prince and received 12 Tony Award nominations. It won six, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score. Since that time the show has enjoyed professional productions all around the world and was revived on Broadway in 2009.
