The New York Daily News reveals that Kristin Scott Thomas, the Olivier Award-winning star of Broadway's and The Royal Court Theatre's critically acclaimed production of Anton Chekhov's THE SEAGULL will star in a French production of Stephen Sondheim's 'A Little Night Music'.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"
Jewishboy, I think that'd be all kinds of perfection and it sounds wishful, but I hope it happens.

Utterly brilliant. I WILL be breaking my bank to see this production. I'm glad they're keeping it in English as this score (and Sondheim in general) would be a beast to translate.
Leslie Caron, Lambert Wilson (Matrix 2 and 3), David Curry, Rebecca Bottone, Francesca Jackson, Nicholas Garrett, Deanne Meek, Celeste de Veazey, Damian Thantrey, Kate Valentin, James Edwards and Daphné Touchais star in this French production.
Here's a web link to the Radio France schedule for this coming Sunday - I don't know if it will work for you guyz but I thought it was worth posting anyway. There's a programme called 42ème rue on at 12 noon (French time - you'll have to do your own sums and I guess kick your valentines out of bed early). From what I can work out it's available online and as a podcast.
I was at the radio recording on Monday (though as Scripps2 stated, it will air this coming Sunday). They filmed the entire thing so it will also be available on video on www.francemusique.com
Lambert Wilson wasn't there due to the recent death of his father. He was replaced (brillantly I must say) by Damian Thantrey.
They sang "Now", "Later", "Soon", "A Weekend in the country", "You must meet my wife", etc. Former 'I'd do anything' contestant Francesca Jackson also performed a superb "Miller's son".
Greta Scacchi is gorgeous and talented. New York would be lucky to have her after CZJ leaves.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
