One of Broadway's most overlooked musical masterpieces, the romantic and achingly beautiful A Little Night Music deals with the universal subject of love in all its wondrous, humorous, and ironic forms. In turn-of-the-century Sweden, middle-aged Fredrik Egerman brings his 18-year-old bride Anne to a play starring his former mistress, Desiree. Soon, Fredrik and Desiree resume their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a pompous Count. The situation culminates in a weekend at a country estate with the two couples in attendance, as well as Fredrik's son (hopelessly in love with Anne), Desiree's illegitimate daughter, the Count's manic-depressive wife, and the Egerman's lusty maid. And there, played out beneath the mysterious summer night, the characters' love and desire reach a heartfelt climax. The breathtaking score by Broadway icon Stephen Sondheim features his most popular song, "Send in the Clowns."
