A Little Night Music
01/09/2010
A Little Night Music, Trevor Nunn’s revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s clasic show from 1973, proves to be an excellent platform for Catherine Zeta-Jones's Broadway debut. Joined by theater heavy-weight Angela Lansbury, Zeta-Jones energetically moves through a whirl intrigue and romance in turn of (last) century Sweden and aquits herself winningly with full-throated vocals. Adapted from an Ingmar Bergman movie Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), the action often boarders on farce, but somehow doesn't detract from the show's overall effect. As the dry Desirée, who yearns to reconnect with her ex, Fredrik (Alexander Hanson), Zeta-Jones belts out the show's most memorable ballad, “Send In the Clowns,” with all the juice befitting a megawatt Hollywood star. Zeta-Jones proves that she's not just a musical star of the big screen (Chicago) but also one big enough to fill that biggest of platforms – a Broadway stage.
