Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's sophisticated romantic musical, inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1955 film Smiles of a Summer Night. Set in turn-of-the-century Sweden, it weaves together the intertwined romantic entanglements of a lawyer, his young wife, an aging actress, and her daughter across a midsummer weekend. Famous for its entirely waltz-based score and the iconic ballad "Send in the Clowns," it won six Tony Awards including Best Musical in 1973 and was revived on Broadway to great acclaim in 2009.
