It is perhaps a testament to the extraordinary genius of Stephen Sondheim, that to create MARRY ME A LITTLE, it was merely necessary to conjure a song cycle from elements he’d culled from the final versions of Follies, Company, and A Little Night Music among others. These disparate leftovers were honed into a simple show by Craig Lucas and Norman René which despite its lack of any dialogue or obvious narrative thread had a brief off-Broadway run back in 1980.
