Sondheim’s Marry Me A Little to be staged at the St James Studio

Stephen Sondheim’s Marry Me A Little will return to the London stage for the first time in 17 years in a brand new production at St James Studio.

The production will run for 16 performances between Tuesday 29th July and Sunday 10th August 2014, with press night set for Thursday 31st July.

Marry Me A Little pieces together a selection of songs by the undisputed master of the contemporary Broadway musical to tell a charming and bittersweet tale of love, loneliness and survival as a modern singleton. 

Two single strangers, left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night, pass their time with sweetly secret, unshared fantasies, never knowing that they’re just a floor away from each other and the end of their lonely dreams.
