Sneak peek at... Simon Bailey & Laura Pitt-Pulford in Marry Me A Little

Ahead of tonight's press night, check out Marry Me A Little production images below (click picture to enlarge). The show runs at the St. James Studio for 16 performances only starring Simon Bailey as Man and Laura Pitt-Pulford as Woman.

Marry Me a Little was co-created by Craig Lucas, who met Sondheim whilst performing in the ensemble of the original Broadway production of Sweeney Todd. In discussions at rehearsals and parties, Sondheim mentioned to Lucas the large number of songs he had written that hadn’t been performed or published. 

Lucas requested permission to use these songs, and with his collaborator Norman René, pieced them together to create a narrative between a young man and woman. Marry Me a Little premiered Off-Off Broadway in 1980 and was described by the New York Times as “an unusually moving evening”. It was last seen in London in 1997 at the Bridewell Theatre in a production starring Clive Carter and Rebecca Front.
