Stephen Sondeim's 'A Little Night Music,' winner of four Tony Awards in1973, is a musical comedy that has entranced the world. Suggested by a film by Ingmar Bergman, 'A Little Night Music' explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desiree Armfeldt (Jemima Lipari of Plainfield) and two men who love her: a married lawyer by the name of Fredrick Egerman (Ernest Ray of Bolingbrook,) and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom (Michael Frale of Elk Grove). When Desiree performs in Frerdick's town, the estranged lovers' passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Fredrick's wife, Anne (Savannah Reisenberg of Plainfield), Desiree's current lover, the Count, and the Count's wife, Charlotte (Kathy Fields of Lockport). Both men- as well as their jealous wives- join Desiree and her family on the summer solstice for 'A Weekend in the Country.' With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises. This musical celebration of love contains a harmonically advanced score, and Sondheim's hauntingly beautiful 'Send in the Clowns.'
