A Little Night Music

Join the G&S Society for A Little Night Music

Audiences will be taken for “A Weekend in the Country” when A Little Night Music, returns in an all-new production for The G&S Society at the Arts Theatre in April/May.

Stephen Sondheim creates a stunning tour de force when he takes Ingmar Bergman’s comedy of manners, Smiles of a Summer Night, and turns it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Winner of four Tony Awards, this is a musical work that has forever entranced the world of theatre.

Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centred around actress, Desiree Armfeldt (Bronwen James), and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman (Robin Schmelzkopf) and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm (Nicholas Bishop). When the travelling actress performs in Fredrik’s town, the estranged lovers’ passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Desiree; Fredrik; Fredrick’s wife, Anne (Emilene Whitehead); Desiree’s current lover, the Count; and the Count’s wife, Charlotte (Deborah Caddy). Not to mention Fredrik’s son Henrik (William Richards), who is in love with Anne.

Both men – as well as their jealous wives and Henrik – agree to join Desiree and her family for a weekend in the country at Desiree’s mother’s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.

“I simply adore this show” says director Pam O’Grady, who has herself played Desiree, “I love working with Ric Trevaskis (Associate Director) and Christine Hodgen (Musical Director) to bring the production to life.”

A Little Night Music is full of hilariously witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire, and contains Sondheim’s popular song, the haunting “Send in the Clowns.”

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC runs in a limited season of just 10 performances at The Arts Theatre, 53 Angas St Adelaide, from April 26 to May 5.

Praise for the G&S Society’s last show, Les Misérables:

“IT’S a Festival Theatre show poured out onto the Arts Theatre stage. This spectacular G&S Society production” – The Advertiser

“It quite literally leaves you spellbound in your seat.” – Stage Whispers

“The combination of gorgeous voices, superior acting and creative design means this production has an engaging sense of originality. It is hard to imagine a better amateur production of this beloved show.” – Adelaide Theatre Guide

“A wondrous night out” – Encore

The Met presents Cole Porter’s “High Society”

Meet Tracy Lord, the society darling, as she prepares for her wedding to the rich (but incredibly dull) George Kittredge. By all accounts it should be the wedding of the year, however things don’t quite go as planned!

With a grumpily precocious little sister causing a scene, the unexpected return of her despised ex-husband, Dexter and drunken old Uncle Willie’s wandering hands – the event seems destined for disaster.

To complicate matters and further add to the chaos, two snooping reporters threaten to expose a family scandal in a dubious gossip magazine.

As if things couldn’t get any worse, Tracy finds herself the focus of three potential suitors. Will she go through with the wedding as planned? Will true love prevail? Will the family scandal be exposed? It all makes for a hilariously entertaining snapshot of the lives of the rich and famous.
