It's hard to pinpoint exactly what it is about A Little Night Music that makes it such a special show. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, it is glorious from start to finish with quirky moments and a peaceful edge. Sondheim's score glides along - you're never quite sure where it's going to go next - whilst Hugh Wheeler's book is written with strength and wit.
