The genius of Stephen Sondheim is on display in Huntington Theatre Company's production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, and Artistic Director Peter DuBois casts a vast array of local actors with a few Broadway veterans for a luminous spectacle. Lavish costumes and lush orchestrations counter a minimalist scenic design, and the singing and acting do justice to one of Sondheim's masterworks.

The entire cast of the Huntington Theatre Company's production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC will perform the National Anthem tonight, September 25, 2015, at Fenway Park before the televised Red Sox versus Orioles game at 7:10pm. Old Town Trolley will transport the cast from Fenway Park to the BU Theatre immediately following the Anthem for the evening's 8pm performance.
