Watch Rob Houchen and Celinde Schoenmaker in rehearsals for Marry Me A Little

Watch a first look at Rob Houchen and Celinde Schoenmaker in rehearsals for The Barn Theatre’s revival production of Marry Me A Little.

The new revival production of the Stephen Sondheim musical will play at The Barn Theatre, Cirencester from October 16 through to November 8.

Ahead of opening night, The Barn Theatre have released a sneak peek video of Rob Houchen (Les Misérables, The Light in the Piazza) and Celinde Schoenmaker (Rocketman, The Phantom of the Opera) performing ‘All Things Bright and Beautiful (Part 2)’ in rehearsals.

Tickets and more information are available online here.

Conceived by Craig Lucas and Norman René, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, the charming and bittersweet one-act musical follows two single strangers as they explore their secret, unshared fantasies whilst they are left alone in their studio apartments on a Saturday night.

The production breathes new theatrical life and meaning to a collection of trunk songs that were culled from the original productions of some of Sondheim’s iconic musicals including Follies, Company and A Little Night Music.

On the creative team are director Kirk Jameson (Just So, Madagascar) with musical staging by Sam Spencer-Lane (The Last Five Years, Aspects of Love), set and costume design by Gregor Donnelly (Daddy Long Legs, Aspects of Love) and musical direction by Arlene McNaught (SIX, Little Miss Sunshine).

Marry Me A Little is produced by the Barn Theatre in association with Anthology Theatre.

The production forms part of The Barn Theatre’s Recovery season together with a new adaption of J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan starring Waylon Jacobs, the currently running Private Peaceful and digital production of What A Carve Up!
