Transfer News: Night Music and Awakening
A Little Night Music
After much speculation, Trevor Nunn’s critic-pleasing revival of A Little Night Music will wing its way across the river and into the Garrick Theatre from 28 March, replacing Zorro. Following the Menier Chocolate Factory’s sell out production of Stephen Sondheim’s lyrical musical, the talented and accomplished cast includes Hannah Waddingham as Desiree, Maureen Lipman as Madame Armfeldt, Alexander Hanson as Fredrik, Kelly Price as Countess Charlotte Malcolm and Jessie Buckley as Anne Egerman.
Spring Awakening
Also controversial and oh so hip musical Spring Awakening based on Frank Wedekind’s classic play, will transfer from the Lyric Hammersmith to the Novello Theatre in mid March after Avenue Q has vacated the building. Spring Awakening shocked Broadway recently when it closed on 18 January after a respectable but all-too-brief run of two years despite winning eight Tony awards.
