Marry Me A Little opens tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5 and runs to April 6 in Tarragon's Mainspace.

This emotion-filled New York hit filled with Sondheim rarities takes audiences on a roller-coaster ride through love in all its guises as a Man and Woman each share their dreams and longings. Originally conceived by director Norman René and playwright Craig Lucas (Prelude To A Kiss), this delightful "revusical" is told entirely through songs written early in Sondheim's career (including numbers from Saturday Night) or cut from his groundbreaking Broadway musicals (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Anyone Can Whistle, Company, Follies and A Little Night Music). The production will also feature the Canadian premiere of the song Rainbows, written for the upcoming film Into The Woods. Sondheim fans (and soon-to-be Sondheim fans) will be treated to an evening of 'songs that got away.'Elodie Gillett is a Toronto based performer whose roles in five seasons at The Shaw Festival included Sarah Brown in Guys And Dolls and Dinah in Trouble In Tahiti. She was an original member of the Jersey Boys cast in Toronto (for DanCap) and remained in the show for its two year run. Other credits include Cinderella, A RATical Retelling (Young People's Theatre - Dora Award for Outstanding Production of a Musical), Oklahoma! and My One And Only (Stratford Festival).Photos by Cylla von Tiedemann
