Catherine Zeta-Jones to Make Broadway Debut

The lovely Catherine Zeta-Jones is the newest film actress to turn Broadway, as she’s just been announced as a leading actress in the upcoming Broadway revival of the Stephen Sondheim musical A Little Night Music. The Oscar-winning Zeta-Jones will take the role of Desiree Armfeldt in the upcoming production of A Little Night Music, starring alongside the iconic Angela Lansbury in the musical, as Lansbury plays the character Madame Armfeldt.

A Little Night Music is set at the turn of the century in a Swedish country house, and the musical will start previews later this fall on Nov. 24, opening on Dec. 13 at the Walter Kerr Theater in New York. The production first opened on Broadway in 1973 and has since garnered six Tony Awards. Of her role in the upcoming musical, Catherine Zeta-Jones said, “I’m honored that Trevor Nunn and Stephen Sondheim asked me to make my Broadway debut in this beautiful production. I look forward to starting rehearsal with this extraordinary group of people and working with the incomparable Angela Lansbury, whose work I’ve long admired.” The combination of Lansbury and Zeta-Jones is sure to be a powerful one, so don’t miss out on seeing A Little Night Music when the production begins its run on Broadway!
