A Little Night Music

A sophisticated musical in waltz time, Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music returns to the London stage this winter at the Chocolate Factory. Based on Ingmar Bergman's film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music is set in turn-of-the-century Sweden where affairs of the heart are uppermost in everyone's thoughts. Hailed as a stylish celebration of romantic love and a fairy tale for adults, this production directed by Trevor Nunn - his debut Sondheim show - promises to continue in the Chocolate Factory's history of acclaimed musicals.

Following the huge success of the transfer of La Cage Aux Folles, the Menier Chocolate Factory has now given the West End Trevor Nunn’s triumphant revival of A Little Night Music, which moves to the West End’s Garrick theatre following a sensational sell-out Menier run.

A Little Night Music is one of Stephen Sondheim’s most famous and enduring musicals, containing the timeless standard Send in the Clowns, which has been recorded and performed by such musical legends as Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey, Mandy Patinkin, Anni-Frid Lyngstad-Reuss, Frank Sinatra, Van Morrison, Frankie Laine and eccentric model Grace Jones. Based on the 1955 Ingmar Bergman movie Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music tells of the love lives of a number of couples in Sweden at the turn of the century.

The show brings its impressive cast with it from the Menier, featuring Hannah Waddingham, Alex Hanson, Kelly Price and writer and comedy actress Maureen Lipman.
