Singer/Actors Wanted for "A Little Night Music" Show

Schenectady, NY, United States
ID: 194890Exp: 10/17/2022
Description:

Auditions For “A Little Night Music”. Seeking cast. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Successful, middle-aged lawyer Fredrik Egerman has recently married naïve, 18-year-old Anne in what turns out to be a terrible mismatch, while his son Henrik, just a little older than her, has secretly fallen in love with his new stepmother. When Fredrik and Anne visit the theatre, Fredrik is reunited with an old flame, the actress Desirée Armfeldt, and sparks fly – although Desirée herself is currently seeing a married dragoon, Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm, much to the misery of his wife Charlotte. When Desiree asks her mother to host a party for the Egermans at her lavish country estate, all the characters set off for a weekend in the country, each with their own amorous hopes, fears, and schemes. Inspired by the 1955 Ingmar Bergman film Smiles of a Summer Night, Stephen Sondheim’s masterpiece A Little Night Music opened on Broadway in 1973 and won 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Original Score.
