A Little Night Music: Sondheim disrupts conventions of the musical theatre song. Director Harold Prince once described A Little Night Music as being “whipped cream with knives.” But he said that he was “more interested in the whipped cream” while composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim was more interested in the knives.
We’ll explore how Sondheim messes with audience expectations in this 1973 musical by giving us something that, on the outset, seems familiar, but rendering it just strange enough to make us sit up and pay attention.
