Patrick Cassidy, Emily Skinner, Karen Ziemba and More Lead A.C.T.'s A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, Opening Tonight
Due to popular demand, American Conservatory Theater (A.C.T.) recently announced the extension of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's rapturous and seductive musical, A Little Night Music. Tickets are now on sale through Sunday, June 21. The show opens tonight, May 27, 2015.
A Little Night Music presents a beguiling and bittersweet tale of lost love, scandalous liaisons, and youthful passions that intertwine over a midsummer's eve at a country home in 1900s Sweden. The Wall Street Journal raves, "No score of Sondheim's is as buoyant and thoroughgoing an example of musical comedy as A Little Night Music." Filled with Sondheim's signature wit and some of his most gorgeous melodies-including the beloved and haunting treasure "Send in the Clowns"-this sumptuous, all-new production of A Little Night Music will sweep audiences away with theatrical storytelling that ignites the senses.
