PS Classics and Nonesuch will team to release the new Broadway cast album of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music, the labels announced. The cast of the Trevor Nunn-directed revival will record the album Jan. 4, 2010.
The production opens Dec. 13 at the Walter Kerr Theatre. A release date for the album has not been announced.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury head the cast as Desiree and Madame Armfeldt, respectively.
Sondheim and librettist Hugh Wheeler’s A Little Night Music — the waltz-filled rumination on love — began previews Nov. 24.
Tommy Krasker, who has produced 12 albums of Sondheim music for several labels, including his own PS Classics, which he co-founded with Philip Chaffin, will produce the new recording.
Catherine has donated a pair of VIP Tickets to A Little Night Music along with an additional Meet & Greet with her backstage! This will be benefiting Rosie O’Donnell’s Rosie’s Broadway Kids. The auction is running through December 3rd here. The current bid is $1,500.00.

On this morning’s episode of LIVE! with Regis and Kelly, star Michael Douglas confirmed the many recent reports and rumors that his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, will indeed star in the upcoming fall revival of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC.
The New York Post’s Michael Riedel reported recently in his ‘On Broadway’ column in the The New York Post that the upcoming revival of Stephen Sondheim’s A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC has found its leading ladies. Riedel reveals that Catherine Zeta-Jones and recent Tony Award winner Angela Lansbury have agreed to appear in the production.
Produced by WABC-TV in New York, “LIVE! with Regis and Kelly” airs every weekday morning in more than 200 markets across the country.
Riedel’s article noted that Lansbury was keen to play Madame Armfeldt, provided the producers lined up another star to play her daughter, Desiree. The producers, after an anxious search, struck Hollywood gold with their catch for the role, Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones. Zeta-Jones won an Oscar as Velma Kelly in the film “Chicago” and got her start on the West End musical stage.
Riedel states in his column that Stephen Sondheim himself called Zeta-Jones and persuaded her to do “NIGHT MUSIC.” It will open at the Walter Kerr in December 2009.

In April, it was announced that a revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler’s A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is headed for Broadway. The production will be directed by Tony Award-winner Trevor Nunn, and will utilize the creative team behind the recent London production, which opened at the Menier Chocolate Factory before transferring to the Garrick Theatre on December 3, 2008.
The production will be produced by David Babani for Chocolate Factory Productions; Andrew Fell; and the Frankel, Viertel, Baruch, Routh Group. In addition to Director Nunn, A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC will include Musical Supervision by Carolyn Humphris, Musical Direction by Tom Murray, Choreography by Lynne Page, General Management by Frankel/Green Theatrical Management and Casting by Tara Rubin Casting.
This will be the first Broadway Revival of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. The show made its premiere on Broadway at the Shubert Theatre on Feb. 25, 1973. The cast featured Len Cariou as Fredrik, Hermione Gingold as Madame Armfeldt, and Glynis Johns as Desiree. The score to the popular Sondheim musical includes the often-recorded “Send in the Clowns” and “Every Day a Little Death.”
