South Coast Repertory leads off the 2007-08 Season with
Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's waltz-filled musical comedy, A Little Night Music. Stefan Novinski
directs with musical direction by Dennis Castellano; to run from September 7
through October 7 on the Segerstrom Stage.
"Sophisticated and stylish, A Little Night Music abounds with effervescent wit as romantic
liaisons are played out beneath the mysterious summer night of Sweden
at the turn of the century. The memorable score composed in three-quarter time
contains Sondheim's most popular song, the haunting 'Send in the Clowns.' The
original 1973 Broadway production was the winner of six Tony Awards including Best
Musical, and two Grammy Awards," state press notes.
The cast includes Stephanie Zimbalist (Desirée Armfeldt), and
Broadway's Mark Jacoby (Fredrik) and Teri Ralston (Madame Armfeldt). The cast of A Little Night Music also features
Christopher Carothers (Mr. Lindquist), Misty Cotton (Petra), Karen Culliver
(Mrs. Nordstrom), Joe Farrell (Henrik Egerman), Katie Horwitch (Fredrika
Armfeldt), Damon Kirsche (Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm), Ann Marie Lee (Mrs.
Anderssen), Tracy Lore (Mrs. Segstrom), Branden McDonald (Frid), Kevin McMahon
