Stage Parsley Productions present MARRY ME A LITTLE
at the Edmonton International Fringe
Using several unknown songs by the undisputed master of the contemporary Broadway musical, Stephen Sondheim, it tells a charming and bittersweet tale of love, loneliness and survival as a modern single.Starring Brett Bews and Kathleen Sera (Anything Goes)
Music by Bruce Shaw
Directed by David Newton
Choreography by Michelle Marusiak
Stage Managed by Andy Haggith
Set Designed by Maureen Matsson
Two single strangers, left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, unshared fantasies, never knowing that they're just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams.
Originally conceived by director Norman Rene and playwright Craig Lucas (Prelude To A Kiss), this ingeniously-constructed “revusical” is told entirely through songs either written early in Sondheim’s career (including numbers from SATURDAY NIGHT) or cut from his ground-breaking Broadway musicals (A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, COMPANY, FOLLIES and A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC). A must for Sondheim aficionados, this smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening is a fascinating look at "the songs that got away."
