With so many musicals trying to be new and different these days, it's always refreshing to see a classic that just does everything right and is memorable for that alone. A Little Night Music is one of those shows. I was invited to watch an exquisite performance last week and was really in awe of the fact that multiple-award winning actresses Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch were on the stage in front of me. Though the setting is a conservative country villa in turn-of-the-century Sweeden, the dialogue is full of wit and snark and you really grow to love each and every character for their personalities. By the end, you are singing the songs and want to go on a weekend in the country of your own.
A Little Night Music is playing at the Walter Kerr Theater only until January 9, but I'm giving away tickets!
One lucky reader will receive two tickets to see A Little Night Music on a night of his or her choosing. The tickets must be picked up at the box office the day of the show.

I'm following you on Twitter. I would love to take my mother to this show. She loves Broadway shows but doesn't get to NYC too often. But she is coming in November. I am also a HUGE Bernadette Peters fan. Hope I win the tickets.

I would really love to see this show. I've heard great things about A Little Night Music, and I'd be just ecstatic if I had a chance to see this show. I've only been to a handful of shows and I would love to be chosen for these tickets so I can take a special someone to enjoy a little night music with me. Looking forward to signing along at the show!

I've just followed your blog and your Twitter (I'm @macartney).
ReplyDeleteI heard about this contest because of my "Elaine Stritch" Google Alert. Yes, I'm that obsessed. Which is precisely why I'd love to go to the show.
Thanks!
Saw your Facebook post to follow your blog :-) I love going to NY shows - anything to take a break from law school craziness. I have always wanted to see Bernadette Peters in all her glory. Read a great review about the show. It sounds amazing:
