Review - A Little Night Music: Look What Happened To Mabel
by Ben Peltz - August 2, 2010


Bernadette Peters just had to go and ruin it for everybody, didn't she.  Well, maybe not for everybody, but certainly for the unfortunate soul who will be honored in June with this season's Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical.  Because in all probability the honor will be forever cursed by the unavoidable sidebar, 'Yeah, but was she better than Bernadette Peters in A Little Night Music?'

Stritch Does Double-Duty: Combines Hartford Commute and NIGHT MUSIC Rehearsal
by Nicolas Coburn - June 23, 2010


This past weekend, Elaine Stritch performed her 'Singin' Sondheim' cabaret in West Hartford, CT. As reported by the Hartford Courant, the A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC-bound star was simultaneously in private rehearsals with director Trevor Nunn. According to the report, Stritch and Peters were in New York working on scenes with Nunn, who then rode to Hartford with Stritch to continue discussions over the two-hour car ride. They continued work at the Roberts Theatre, the same space Stritch performed 'Singin' Sondheim' that evening. Jeremy Cohen, associate artistic director of Hartford Stage, is quoted as saying that watching Stritch and Nunn 'was like [being] a kid in a candy shop ... He's definitely an actor's director and listening them talk about Sondheim was incredible. It's as if they had been working together for decades because they spoke in the common vocabulary of Sondheim.'
