Riverside Community Players presents A Little Night Music, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, book by Hugh Wheeler, and directed by Merillee Drake.

One of Broadway’s masterpieces, this romantic and achingly beautiful musical deals with the universal subject of love, in all its wondrous, humorous, and ironic permutations. Sophisticated, literate, and stylish A Little Night Music is also disarmingly warm, funny, charming, and very human. The lilting Ravel-inspired score includes Sondheim’s most popular song, the haunting “Send in the Clowns.”
