Directed by Mark Brokaw, the Kennedy Center mounting of the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical begins performances Aug. 2 and will play in repertory with Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along and Passion through Aug. 25. The other three musicals that comprise the Sondheim Celebration are the now-closed Sweeney Todd, Company and Sunday in the Park with George.

A Little Night Music originally opened at Broadway's Shubert Theatre on Feb. 25, 1973, with a cast that included Glynis Johns as Desiree, Len Cariou as Fredrik and Hermione Gingold as Madame Armfeldt. The show garnered five 1973 Tony Awards, including one for Best Musical. The Sondheim score features the composer's best-known tune, "Send in the Clowns," as well as "Every Day a Little Death," "The Miller's Son" and "A Weekend in the Country."
