Marry Me a Little (musical)

Marry Me a Little is a musical with lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim, conceived by Craig Lucas and Norman René. The revue sets songs cut from Sondheim's better-known musicals, as well as from his then-unproduced musical Saturday Night, to a dialogue-free plot about two lonely New York single people, who express their passions, fantasies and longings during an evening in their separate one-room apartments. For the purposes of a unique stage convention, both apartments are merged into one and both characters inhabit the same space. Although they never meet during the course of the musical, they occasionally interact as fantasized romantic companions or counterpoints.
