Stage and screen star Kathleen Turner has joined the cast of Ogunquit Playhouse's upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's A Little Night Music. The Oscar and Tony nominee will star as Madame Armfeldt, with performances running July 18-August 17 at the Maine theatre.
Broadway favorite Hunter Foster is directing the new production, with further casting and creative team to be announced.
Adapted from the Ingmar Bergman-directed and written film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music features a book by Wheeler and a score by Sondheim. The story follows three sets of seemingly mismatched lovers, each feeling restless in their current relationship.
Sondheim鈥檚 Tony-winning score is probably best known for 鈥淪end in the Clowns,鈥� which became an unlikely radio hit after the show premiered on Broadway in 1973. The score also includes 鈥淓very Day a Little Death,鈥� 鈥淎 Weekend in the Country,鈥� and 鈥淭he Miller鈥檚 Son.鈥�
Turner was Tony-nominated for her 1990 performance in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof and again for her 2005 work in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Her Broadway credits also include Indiscretions, The Graduate, and High.
