FEATURED REVIEWS FOR A Little Night Music
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury shine in a darker ‘A Little Night Music’
9 / 10
Crafted as a chamber piece with less than a dozen characters and a four-member vocal ensemble, 'A Little Night Music' is directed by Trevor Nunn in a particularly intimate fashion. Expect not a ton of fancy scenery and spectacular 1900s costumes. Staged more as a rueful comedy with music, this show unfolds quietly against a flexible setting of duskily mirrored panels that later opens to disclose a modest view of birch trees.
Love and tears, dimly lit
6 / 10
Trevor Nunn's murky-looking production (did he and lighting designer Hartley T A Kemp take the 'night' in the title literally?) isn't particularly subtle or graceful. Lacking both nuance and energy, it struggles to match the sophistication and gamesmanship of Sondheim's score, which evokes the effervescence of love, the abject pain it can cause, and the melancholy of its aftermath -- sometimes all in the same song.
