A Little Night Music
April 18–21 | Power Center
Presented by the Department of Musical Theatre
In this romantic farce, a tangled web of affairs – centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt – comes untangled during a weekend in the country. Stephen Sondheim won his fourth Tony Award for the score, which features perhaps his best-known song, “Send in the Clowns.”
