A Little Night Music is Sondheim’s eighth Broadway musical. The romantic farce about the lives of several upper middle-class couples in early twentieth-century Sweden was suggested by Ingmar Bergman’s Smiles of a Summer Night (1955), an evening of sexual musical chairs on the longest night of the year.
