A fine performance of A Little Night Music, Sondheim's show about mis-matched couples in Sweden at the turn of the 20th century, based on a film by Bergman. Catherine Zeta-Jones did well, although perhaps too young and lacking some depth. She nailed Send in the Clowns. Angela Landsbury was wonderful as the elderly, wise, cynincal grandmother. Much of the rest of the cast were over the top, particularly Ramona Mallory as Anne. The other musical highlight was A Weekend in the Country that closes the second set and places all the couples and rivals in the same house for the second act. The Miller's Son, sung by Leigh Ann Larkin playing Petra, was also very strong.
Beautiful set, glass doors and windows, with glass partially frosted, along three sides, framing an inlaid wood floor in an octagonal pattern.
Seats: mezzanine, seven rows up, in the center, very good view due to the steep rake and short people in front.
Dinner at Crave: bbq chicken pizza and chicken soup, margheritta pizza and roasted shrimp and corn soup, cannolis after the show
