A Little bit more Night Music.

Trevor Nunn?s revival of Stephen Sondheim?s A Little Night Music has extended its run at the Garrick theatre until 5 September ahead of an intended Broadway transfer.

The production originated at the Menier Chocolate Factory last year before transferring to the Garrick in March. It had been booking to 25 July.

David Babani, Artistic Director of the Menier, commented: ?It is with great excitement that we are able to announce further London performances of Trevor Nunn?s Chocolate Factory production of A Little Night Music. Since its original opening in December last year, the production has played to packed houses both at the Chocolate Factory and the Garrick theatre, and discussions are currently underway for a Broadway production to open later this year.?

Hmmm, I was looking for beyonnd July 25th last week too and could book. Maybe the announcement is late.

At least its not closing before I get to see it.

I'm a bit confused. Auditions are underway in NYC for the Broadway producton, (to be directed by Nunn) with tentative dates to begin rehearsals in October and open in December. Does anyone know anything about that? That doesn't sound like a transfer to me.

December?! I'm surprised that this is doing so well, paticularly in the light of Spring Awakenings failure, which I thought was a much more commercial show.

It has been confirmed that A Little Night Music, will be playing A Jujamcyn Theatre, which will be a choice of either St James Theatre, Al Hirschfeld Theate, August Wilson Theatre, Eugene O'Neill Theatre or Walter Kerr Theatre.

I see it as a choice of the last two myself.

It wont be the 3rd either, August Wilson is home to 'Jersey 100% capacity Boys'.
Both 'La Cage' and 'Little Night' will be looking for very small houses especially 'La Cage'.
Sadly Broadway doesn't have the wonderful selection of different seating capacities that the West End has. They are nearly all huge.
When, and it will, 'Next To Normal' closes, The Booth would suit these two shows perfectly.
The Music Box would be the ultimate perfect house for 'La Cage'

Why must it go to a Jumancyn house?

A Little Night Music closes in September, being replaced by The Mysteries (Yiimimangaliso)

'Why must it go to a Jumancyn house?'

Just what they quoted on Playbill.

I saw the the Mysteries when it did a uk tour a few years ago and despite being quite sceptical , not to mention an committed atheist, i thought it was excellent.

Bump, to get rid of those 5 advertising threads.

Here is a bitof a hint.

Irena's vow has announced it is to close and plays the Walter Kerr theatre on 28th June.
