Hadley Fraser, Anna O'Byrne and More Set for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC Concert This June

Alex Parker brings the award-winning and critically acclaimed Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler musical A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC to the Yvonne Arnaud, in a special concert reading of the show on June 16.

The show features a 28-piece on-stage orchestra and songs such as Send In The Clowns, A Weekend In The Country and Every Day A Little Death.

The evening will feature an all star West End cast including two-time Olivier Award Winner Janie Dee (Carousel, Comic Potential, Noises Off) as Desirée Armfeldt, David Birrell (Ragtime, Spamalot, Passion) as Frederik Egerman, two-time Olivier Award Winner Joanna Riding (Carousel, The Witches of Eastwick, My Fair Lady) as Countess Charlotte Malcolm, Hadley Fraser (Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera, The Pirate Queen) as Count Carl- Magnus Malcolm, Anna O'Byrne (Love Never Dies, The Phantom of the Opera) as Anne Egerman, FRA FEE (Les Miserables Movie) as Henrik Egerman, Laura Pitt-Pulford (Mack and Mabel, Sunset Boulevard, Hello Dolly) as Petra.
