Director Scott Ellis (She Loves Me, 1776, Curtains) directed a cast of 15 including Natasha Richardson (Desirée Armfeldt), Victor Garber (Frederick Egerman) Jill Paice (Anna Egerman), Christine Baranski (Countess Charlotte Malcolm), Marc Kudisch (Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm), Steven Pasquale (Henrik Egerman) and Vanessa Redgrave (Madame Armfeldt), and with legendary musical director Paul Gemignani (Assassins, Pacific Overtures) leading a 27-member orchestra with orchestrations by Jonathan Tunick.

The cast also included Kendra Kassebaum (Petra), Alexandra Socha (Fredrika), Maija Lisa Currie (Mrs. Nordstrom), Steven Goldstein (Mr. Erlandson), Leena Chopra (Mrs. Segestrom), Julianne Borg (Mrs. Anderssen) and Philip Cokorinos (Mr. Lindquist).

Not seen on Broadway in 35 years, this classic musical follows three lovestruck couples as they lose - and find - each other during a long midsummer night on a country estate. Sondheim's most heartbreaking score includes "Send in the Clowns," "The Miller's Son" and "A Weekend in the Country."

The design team included Derek McLane (Sets), Kenneth Posner (Lights) and Steve Kennedy (Sound).
