Marry Me A Little at Long Beach Performing Arts Center

International City Theatre pays tribute to the late, great Stephen Sondheim, kicking off its 37th season with Marry Me A Little, a bittersweet musical two-hander that weaves 17 of Sondheims lesser-known songs into a tale of love and loneliness. The story of two single strangers who unknowingly live one floor apart is told entirely through songs written early in Sondheims career or cut from his groundbreaking Broadway musicals. A must-see for Sondheim aficionados, this smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening is a fascinating look at the Sondheim songs that got away. February 9 through February 27, Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays at 8 p.m.; Sundays at 2 p.m. Proof of vaccination is required for admission, and masks, covering both mouth and nose, must be worn throughout the performance. International City Theatre at the Long Beach Performing Arts Center, 330 E. Seaside Way, Long Beach, CA 90802; (562) 436-4610; InternationalCityTheatre.org.
