“Marry Me A Little” uses several unknown 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 single. 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. Originally conceived by director Norman Rene and playwright Craig Lucas (“Prelude To A Kiss”), this ingeniously-constructed “revusical” is told entirely through songs either written early in Sondheim’s career (including numbers from that new classic “Saturday Night”) or cut from his groundbreaking Broadway musicals (“A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum,” “Anyone Can Whistle,” “Company,” “Follies” and “A Little Night Music”). A must for Sondheim aficionados, this easily produced one-act musical is also perfect as a benefit, curtain warmer or second-stage production, as it can be played on virtually any existing set – or no set at all. It’s a smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening, and a fascinating look at “the songs that got away.”
