Hello, Brendan: To begin, I quote your excellent review: “Zeta-Jones, who is still too ravishing to suggest credibly a character in late-career decline…” Thank you for pointing out what I believe to be the fatal flaw in Mr. Nunn’s direction of A Little Night Music: he used the Bergman film as his reference point and cast everyone much younger. Well, yes, the characters are younger in the film. But if Mr. Nunn had really read and comprehended Wheeler’s script and Sondheim’s lyrics he would have understood that the stage musical — which is quite different than the film in terms of tone and texture — is clearly written for characters who are mostly middle-age and beyond.
Best wishes, SONDHEIM AFICIONADO
