Marry Me A Little at the Drayton Arms.

The living legend that is Stephen Sondheim has a prolific back catalogue of hit after hit after hit. But what about the songs that never made it into our favourite shows? Now we can hear those songs live onstage, reimagined as MARRY ME A LITTLE, breathing new life into these trunk songs...

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.

Together they breathe new theatrical life and meaning into a collection of trunk songs that were culled from the final productions of Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and A Little Night Music.

A smart, funny, sophisticated and moving evening, and a fascinating look at "the songs that got away."

Songs by STEPHEN SONDHEIM 
Conceived & Developed by CRAIG LUCAS & NORMAN RENÉ 
Produced Off-Broadway by Diane de Mailly in association with William B. Young. Originally Produced by The Production Company 

Performed by arrangement with Music Theatre International (Europe) Limited

MARRY ME A LITTLE runs from 8 to 26 May 2018.
