A Little Night Music Quiets on Broadway

A Little Night Music, starring Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch, plays its final performance at Broadway's Walter Kerr Theatre.

Based on Ingmar Bergman’s film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music is set in a weekend country house in late 19th century Sweden, bringing together surprising liaisons, long simmering passions, and a taste of love’s endless possibilities. The story centers on the elegant actress Desirée Armfeldt (Zeta-Jones) and the spider’s web of sensuality, intrigue, and desire that surrounds her. The Sondheim score features one of the composer’s best-known songs, “Send in the Clowns,” as well as “Every Day a Little Death,” “The Miller’s Son,” and “A Weekend in the Country.”
