The Stage Door Theatre is proud to announce its opening production will be Marry Me a Little, a musical with lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim, conceived by Craig Lucas and Norman René.
The revue sets songs cut from Sondheim’s better-known musicals, as well as songs from his then-unproduced musical Saturday Night, to a dialogue-free plot about the relationship between two lonely New York single people, who are in emotional conflict during an evening in their separate one-room apartments.
Despite knowing of the other’s existence, they never get up the courage to talk to each other, though they imagine what such an encounter might be like.
