FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Little Night Music

Zeta-Jones Clowns Around in Farcical ‘Night Music’: John Simon
5 / 10

What the set lacks, Nunn tries to make up for with business. Not so much stage movement as general heartiness, frolicsomeness, primping and posturing, inordinate onstage laughter and whatever it takes to goose elegant comedy into rude farce. Slimmer and coarser, the production will not supplant anyone’s memory of the visual and kinetic elegance of Hal Prince’s 1973 original. A mixed bag, then, made desirable by Sondheim’s music -- far from little and equally good for night and day.

A Weekend in the Country With Eros and Thanatos
5 / 10

Mr. Nunn’s “Little Night Music,” the first full Broadway revival of the show, may well be a hit too, though not because of any artistic finesse. It has what is a producer’s favorite form of insurance these days: stars known to the public from movies, television and tabloids, of whom people can later say things like “She’s even more beautiful in person” (as they surely will of the lustrous Ms. Zeta-Jones) or “She’s amazing for her age” (in reference to the 84-year-old Ms. Lansbury).
