A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at LONGMONT THEATRE COMPANY

Tony Award-Winner Stephen Sondheim creates a stunning tour de force when he takes Ingmar Bergman's Smiles of a Summer Night and turns it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. With several Tony Awards to its name, this is a musical work that has forever entranced the world of theatre.

Set in 1900 Sweden, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desiree Armfeldt and the men who love her -- a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the actress performs in Fredrik's town, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles. The encounter strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion amongst the cast of characters: Desiree, Fredrik, Fredrik's wife Anne, Desiree's current lover the Count, and the Count's wife Charlotte. Both men, as well as their jealous wives, agree to join Desiree and her family for a weekend in the country at Desiree's mother's estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love is perfect for showcasing trained singers with its harmonically-advanced score and complex arrangements.
