A new production of Stephen Sondheim's A Little Night Music is opening on my birthday next year in Paris. The show will run for 5 days, and I should start saving now for three reasons: 1) I love the show, based on Ingmar Bergman's film Smiles of a Summer Night. 2) Kristin Scott-Thomas will play Desiree Armfeldt and sing "Send in the Clowns." 3) Leslie Caron (!) will play Madame Armfeldt.

Kristin Scott-Thomas in I've Loved You So Long.

This is the kind of thing you plan a trip overseas for and around. There is a Broadway revival planned for this fall, but I doubt they will come up with a more appealing star than Scott-Thomas.
