For the last few months I have been working on a production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music. There were some trials and tribulations, but we finally got it together for our three performances at Indian Hill Music Center. I was very, very, very lucky to be able to play Desiree Armfeldt, something I never thought would happen. It was the most delightful experience with a wonderful, totally believable cast. To tell the truth I have never liked the one song Desiree sings, Send in the Clowns, but when it is heard in the context of the show, it makes complete sense. I still don't think I would like to perform it without the dialogue because the few words that Fredrik speaks are so, so heartbreaking.
How I wish we had more than three performances. Our ensemble was just becoming an ensemble and it was over...
