A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC To Close At Garrick, July 25th

The Menier Chocolate Factory's production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music, which transferred to the West End in March, will now complete its run at the Garrick Theatre on 25 July as originally announced.

Trevor Nunn's critically acclaimed production, led by a cast including Hannah Waddingham as Desirée, Maureen Lipman as Madame Armfeldt, Alexander Hanson as Fredrik Egerman, Kelly Price as Countess Charlotte Malcolm and Jessie Buckley as Anne Egerman, has musical supervision by Caroline Humphris, set and costume design by David Farley, choreography by Lynne Page, orchestrations by Jason Carr, with lighting by Hartley T A Kemp and sound by Gareth Owen.

Based on Ingmar Bergman's film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music is set in 19th century Sweden, where affairs of the heart are uppermost in everyone's thoughts. Hailed as a witty and stylish celebration of romance, the story centres on the elegant actress Desirée Armfeldt and the spider's web of sensuality, intrigue and passion that surrounds her.

The rest of the cast are John Addison (Mr Erlanson), Laura Armstrong (Mrs Anderssen), Fiona Dunn (Mrs Nordstrom), Lynden Edwards (Mr Lindquist), Kaisa Hammarlund (Petra), Phil Pritchard (Frid), Alistair Robins (Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm), Nicola Sloane (Mrs Segstrom) and Gabriel Vick (Henrik Egerman). Katie Buchholz, Holly Hallam and Grace Link alternate the role of Fredrika Armfeldt.
