The Gallery Players Presents Stephen Sondheim's MARRY ME A LITTLE 

Gallery Players announces the fourth show of its 50th season with the critically acclaimed and timely, Marry Me A Little. This charming and touching musical revue was conceived and developed by Craig Lucas & Norman Rene, and features songs by Stephen Sondheim.

Two New York City singles share a Saturday night of fantasies and bittersweet yearning while never leaving their solitary apartments. The two, separated by a floor, sing on the same wants and dreams all the while not knowing the end of their loneliness is only a floor away. Together they breathe new theatrical life and meaning into a collection of trunk songs that were culled from the final productions ofAnyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and A Little Night Music.

A first for this show, there will be three rotating casts performing each weekend: one duo is male and female, one is an all male duo, and one is an all female duo. This will be a new twist on this piece and is being done with the express consent of the licensing agent and the author.

This is a rare treat to be produced in Brooklyn and is a must-see for Sondheim aficionado as it features songs that you may or may not know. It's a smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening, and a fascinating look at "the songs that got away." This production is a great outing or date for the musical lover.

Marry Me A Little opens Thursday, January 26th, and runs for 12 performances through Saturday, February 13th, 2017. Performances will be held Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm.

Tickets are $25 for Adults and $20 for senior citizens, students, and children 12 and under. Tickets can be purchased 24/7 online at www.galleryplayers.com or by calling OvationTix at 212-352-3101 (phone hours 9-9 weekdays, 10-6 weekends).
