Audition for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Little Radical Theatrics in White Plains, on 06/19/2012

Posted: June 5, 2012

Coming off a Sold-Out run of the New York Regional Premiere of "Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson", Little Radical Theatrics inc announces auditions for its summer production of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music".

Michael Mirra, director; Ricky Romano Jr, musical director, Jessica Bittner, choreograper, Jovan C Richards, producer.

Little Radical Theatrics brings Stephen Sondheim to the forefront once again with its summer offering. One of Broadway’s most neglected masterpieces, the romantic and achingly beautiful A Little Night Music deals with the universal subject of love, in all its wondrous, humorous and ironic permutations. Based on the Ingmar Bergman film "Smiles of a Summer Night", it interweaves a tangled web of former and current lovers. Esteemed lawyer Fredrik Egerman has recently married a young virgin, Anne, whom his son, Henrik, has also fallen madly in love. Fredrik’s dedication to his blushing bride is tested when he reunites with a former flame, the famed (and fading) actress Desiree Armfeldt. Things grow more complicated when her jealous (and married) lover Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm gets wind of the reunion. The coupling and uncoupling comes to a head when Desirée convinces her mother to host Fredrik and his family for a weekend on her lavish country estate—and the Count, with wife in tow, crashes the party!
