Stephen Sondheim: A Little Night Music
The usually warranted anxieties and irritations over ill-equipped film actors polluting the Broadway stage can happily be put to rest for the current revival of A Little Night Music. It will come as no surprise that the legendary Angela Lansbury delivers once again, but Catherine Zeta-Jones does something few have done for some time now: makes a leap from film to the stage that we can only hope she will repeat.
If you are not familiar with the work of composer Stephen Sondheim, this production presents the perfect opportunity for an introduction. If you already know and love the musical master, then it’s time to treat yourself to an early Christmas present.

Catherine Zeta-Jones Wardrobe Malfunction Wows Audience
21 December 2009 8:55 AM, PST | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »
Super sexy actress Catherine Zeta-Jones gave some audience members at her Broadway play a scene to remember when a wardrobe malfunction briefly exposed her breasts. Zeta-Jones — and her breasts — are debuting in the Sir Trevor Nunn production of A Little Night Music, at the Walter Kerr Theater. Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler created the show, called an “erotic waltz,” when it first debuted in 1973. The revival began at the Menier studio theatre in south London last year. The show is set in a Swedish country house at the turn of the century, and was inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film “Smiles of a Summer Night.” Zeta-Jones plays Desiree Armfeldt, a flamboyant actress who sings the show-stopping ballad “Send in the Clowns.” Angela Landsbury also stars. »

What to say about … Catherine Zeta-Jones in A Little Night Music
16 December 2009 8:53 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
She's got the chops and the charisma, but is Ze-Jo subtle enough for Sondheim's Send in the Clowns? The critics are doubtful
She can slink about in Lycra for Sean Connery's viewing pleasure; she can glare feistily from behind her sabre; she can dance her way into the Academy's favours; she can even shake genetics to its very foundations by convincing people that she is the daughter of David Jason and Pam Ferris.
But there is a feeling among the critics that Catherine Zeta-Jones may have strayed a little outside her range when she took on the role of Desiree in Trevor Nunn's Broadway transfer of A Little Night Music. "With its complex score and no conventional showstoppers, [Stephen Sondheim's musical] requires the skills of a seasoned stage actor," the Guardian's Emma Brockes observes. "And while … Zeta-Jones can act and sing, she can't do both at once."

Zeta-Jones Is 'Bewitching' In A Little Night Music, Lansbury The 'Real Jewel'
14 December 2009 11:46 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Catherine Zeta-Jones has won over theatre critics with her Broadway debut in A Little Night Music, but it was her co-star Angela Lansbury who stole the show as the "real jewel" of the musical.
The Welsh beauty stars alongside veteran actress Lansbury in the Stephen Sondheim play, which opened in New York's Walter Kerr Theatre on Sunday.
Zeta-Jones has been applauded by trade paper Variety as "bewitching, confident and utterly natural" in her portrayal of middle-aged actress and seductress Desiree Armfeldt, with writer David Rooney adding, "She breathes a refreshing earthiness and warm-blooded sensuality into the part."
The Hollywood Reporter notes her "beautiful" vocals and "terrific stage presence", while Newsday calls the Chicago! star "earthy and poignant".
But reviewers saved their highest praise for Lansbury, whose performance as Zeta-Jones' mother, Madame Armfeldt, has been branded "the production's real jewel" by Variety's Rooney, while USA Today called her portrayal "incandescent".
The Hollywood Reporter's Frank Scheck writes: "Lansbury uses her well-honed theatrical instincts to perfect effect as Madame Armfeldt, generating huge laughs with her expert delivery of the character's piercing comic barbs."
However, the musical's younger stars, Ramona Mallory and Hunter Ryan Herdlicka, have not fared so well - the Associated Press refers to the actress as "particularly grating", while Herdlicka, as the lawyer's repressed son Henrik, is "close behind".
But the youngsters' performances have done little to detract from A Little Night Music's overall review, under the direction of Trevor Nunn.
The Hollywood Reporter says, "Whatever its flaws, it's nonetheless a welcome return of a show."
A Little Night Music was last seen on Broadway in 1974. »
