Playing March 19 - April 12, 2020 in the intimate Carnival Studio Theater (Ziff Ballet Opera House), A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC continues Zoetic Stage's 2019-2020 season and the Arsht Center's 2019-2020 Theater Up Close Series.

Directed by Zoetic Stage Artistic Director Stuart Meltzer and hailed by The New York Times as "sophisticated and enchanting," this beloved Sondheim classic explores the tangled web of affairs 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 actress performs in Fredrik's town, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles, affecting everyone around them. As relevant today as when it first appeared on stage, this musical masterpiece explores class, fidelity and the human condition with humor, warmth and elegance.

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC features an award-winning cast including actors with previous Zoetic Stage-Sondheim credits such as Aloysius Gigl (Fredrik Egerman) who performed the title role in Zoetic's Sweeney Todd, as well as Jeni Hacker (Countess Charlotte Malcolm) and Terry Hardcastle (Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm) who were also part of the Sweeney Todd cast.
