A Little Night Music (2009, Peters & Stritch)

Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s multi-Tony Award-winning masterpiece 'A Little Night Music' received a historic injection of star-powered vocal brilliance during its hit Broadway revival at the Walter Kerr Theatre when stage royalty Bernadette Peters and Elaine Stritch stepped into the leading roles. Taking the stage under Trevor Nunn’s precise, textually rich direction, Peters infused the glamorous actress Desirée Armfeldt with a breathtaking emotional vulnerability and a luxurious vocal delivery of "Send in the Clowns," while Stritch delivered a masterclass in deadpan comedic timing as the cynical, wheelchair-bound Madame Armfeldt. This high-profile run re-energized the production's box-office security for modern theatergoers.
