WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
An enchanting waltz by moonlight, Sondheim's most beautiful musical celebrates every nuance of love, from the tender blossoming of inexperience to the startled rekindling of long-forgotten passions. This lush three-quarter time tribute to Ingmar Bergman's only film comedy, Smiles of a Summer Night, presents a 1913 Sweden suffused with passion and possibility. Over the course of one libidinous weekend at a country estate, the strands of desire entwine a host of unsuspected guests, including an aging lawyer, his teenage trophy wife, brooding son, and sly mistress, forming surprising bonds for each would-be lover. Set to Sondheim's lilting score, and Hugh Wheeler's book, A Little Night Music combines the humor and sweet melancholy of a summer night smiling on the very young, the very foolish, and the very old.
No show November 27, December 24, 25; no 7pm show November 30. Additional shows December 22, 8pm, December 26, 2pm.

How weird it was to read in a review of the original 1973 Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music that the show "remains too literary and precious a work to stir the emotions" -- this just after I had puddled up several times during TheaterWorks' revival of the musical at the Post Street Theatre in San Francisco.
Director Robert Kelley, who founded the Peninsula drama company 34 years ago, is a Sondheim maven, having produced most of the great composer-lyricist's important musicals. This new production of A Little Night Music played in Mountain View for several weeks before being deemed worthy to transfer to downtown San Francisco for a limited commer[...]
