Naperville’s Brightside Theatre will present Stephen Sondheim’s romantic musical farce A Little Night Music beginning Friday, October 20 and running through Sunday, November 5, at Meiley-Swallow Hall, North Central College, 31 S. Ellsworth in Naperville.
At the turn of the 20th Century, Desiree Armfeldt, a renowned traveling actress, is growing weary of her life on the road. A chance encounter with an old flame sets in motion a series of romantic misadventures that culminate in a madcap weekend in the country where couples waltz, passions erupt, jealousies flare, and hilarity triumphs over all as the summer night smiles on the young and old alike.
Based on the Ingmar Berman film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music offers one of the most singular sumptuous Broadway scores ever written, featuring Sondheim’s best-known song, Send in the Clowns.
Directed by JEFF-nominated director Jeffrey Cass and choreographed by Amanda Vinson, A Little Night Music features Melissa Paris as Desiree and Jon Cunningham as Fredrick Egerman.
Individual tickets and subscriptions are on sale now by visiting www.BrightSideTheatre.com or calling the Box Office at 630-447-TIXS (8497).
