"The Roundabout Theatre Company's gala concert reading of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Award-winning A Little Night Music, scheduled for Jan. 12, 2009, will now be presented at Studio 54 rather than the previously announced Nokia Theatre Times Square.

Scott Ellis (She Loves Me, 1776, Curtains) will direct the 7:30 PM performance, which will boast the talents of the previously reported Natasha Richardson (Desirée Armfeldt), Victor Garber (Frederick Egerman), Christine Baranski (Countess Charlotte Malcolm), Laura Benanti (Anne Egerman), Marc Kudisch (Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm), Vanessa Redgrave (Madame Armfeldt), Steven Pasquale (Henrik Egerman) and Kendra Kassebaum (Petra).

Newcomers to the evening include Alexandra Socha (Fredrika), Maija Lisa Currie (Mrs. Nordstrom), Steven Goldstein (Mr. Erlandson), Leena Chopra (Mrs. Segestrom), Julianne Borg (Mrs. Anderssen) and Philip Cokorinos (Mr. Lindquist).

Musical director Paul Gemignani will lead a 27-member orchestra with orchestrations penned by Jonathan Tunick.

The design team includes Derek McLane (sets), Kenneth Posner (lights) and Steve Kennedy (sound)..."

So... say I already got my ticket in the mail for this. Does this mean they'll mail me a new ticket reflecting the studio 54 seating?

I guess it all works out that I couldn't afford the ticket after the damn American Express pre-sale! They better tape it!

Umm, so are we getting new tickets...for a second time? (The first time they had a printing problem and made me return the original ticket and gave me a new one).
Really looking forward to this evening.

for those of us with the cheap seats:

I called about the tickets (also have new paper tickets after the printing problem) - Roundabout said we will get a letter soon and if we already have paper tickets we will probably be instructed to bring them night of and exchange them for comparable tickets at the studio 54 box office.

I suspect this plan could change, it seemed like a speedy solution.

When did they announce Kendra as Petra? I like that idea and Im glad to see that Alexandra is getting cast as well since I want to see her have a nice long career.
