Barrington Stage Company's A Little Night Music completes its run on the Massachusetts theatre's Boyd-Quinson Stage August 28 after beginning performances August 6. Outgoing BSC Artistic Director Julianne Boyd is at the helm.
Leading the production are Broadway favorites Emily Skinner as Desiree, Jason Danieley as Frederick, Sierra Boggess as Charlotte, and Mary Beth Peil as Madame Armfeldt, alongside Cooper Grodin as Count Carl Magnus, Sabina Collazo as Anne Egerman, Noah Wolfe as Henrik Egerman, Sophie Mings as Petra, Kate Day Magocsi as Fredrika, Adam Richardson as Mr. Lindquist, Rebecca Pitcher as Mrs. Nordstrom, Stephanie Bacastow as Mrs. Anderssen, Andrew Maughan as Mr. Erlanson, Leslie Jackson as Mrs. Segstrom, and Slater Ashenhurst as Frid. Rounding out the company as understudies are Paula Gaudier, Sarah Goeke, Gabriel Logan, Teri Ralston, and Andrew Ramey.
Joining Boyd on the creative team are choreographer Robert La Fosse, music director Darren R. Cohen, scenic designer Yoon Bae, costume designer Sara Jean Tosetti, lighting designer David Lander, sound designer Leon Rothenberg, and wig designer Mary Schilling-Martin. Jacqueline Holloway is intimacy choreographer, and David D'Agostino is production stage manager. The production was cast by Pat McCorkle of McCorkle Casting.
Based on the Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music premiered on Broadway in 1973, originally produced and directed by Harold Prince. It won six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical (for Wheeler), and Best Original Score (for Sondheim). The work was revived on Broadway in 2009 in a production starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury, and Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch later in the run.
A Little Night Music follows runs of Ain't Misbehavin' and Anna in the Tropics on the Boyd-Quinson Stage, and will be followed by the world premiere of Laura Winters' All of Me September 21–October 9.
Lupita Nyong'o, Katrina Lenk, Jelani Alladin, and more were on hand to celebrate the October 31 opening night of Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs' new musical.
