Quotes

Desiree Armfeldt: Shall I tell you why I really invited you here? When we met again and we made love, I thought, "Maybe here it is at last. A chance to turn back, to find some sort of coherent existence after so many years of muddle."

Version of A Little Night Music (1977)

"A Little Night Music"

I just watched "Smiles of a Summer Night", and now I want to watch "A Little Night Music." But it is nowhere to be had. "Night Music" is such a wonderful experience: the music, the acting, the entire performance. Why hasn't this been released on DVD? There must be many people out there who would love to see it. Every role, every song, the whole Sondheim genius is here. How do we get it out so we can see it whenever we feel the need? It has been so long since I have seen it - almost 15 years now- that specific comments are difficult to make. But I do remember Sally Anne Howes' rendition of "Send In The Clowns" as being a show stopper. And the comic tension between Egerman and Desiree's lover is just a delight. Let's get this musical converted to the DVD format. Everyone would benefit.
