A Little Night Music at Argenta Contemporary Theatre

The musical follows acclaimed actress Desiree Armfeldt and the two men vying for her affection. There is a complicated web of jealousy between them and the mens wives. It is romantic at its core. Here, Sondheim is retelling the story based on Ingmar Bergmans Swedish classic film, SMILES OF A SUMMER NIGHT. Each musical piece is a waltz, with a Greek Chorus or Liebeslieder Quintet being the glue that holds the story together. They always sing in time with clever lyrics that poke fun at the whole enterprise.
