Marry Me A Little

RE:... full review

Chromolume Theatre returns to the Hollywood Fringe Festival in 2025 for the first time in seven years with another intimate one-act musical. This charming and bittersweet revue features a collection of Stephen Sondheim’s “trunk songs” — pieces cut from the final productions of Anyone Can Whistle, Follies, Company, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and A Little Night Music. Set in a couple’s modest studio apartment on a Saturday night, the show unfolds as they pass time with tender, secret, and unshared fantasies. A must for Sondheim aficionados, the production is smart, funny, sophisticated, and deeply moving — offering a fascinating glimpse into “the songs that got away.” <a href="https://www.myccpay.it.com">Official Site</a>... full review

Marry Me a Little is probably the most difficult of the Sondheim revues to pull off. The reasoning is two-fold: first, most of the songs are completely unknown and secondly, this revue has no accompanying dialogue to help explain any transitions from song to song. Sondheim aficionados will surely appreciate seeing this show and perhaps doing what I did, comparing it to some of his other revues: namely, Side by Side by Sondheim, Putting it Together, and the newest, Old Friends. Marry Me a Little fits with Chromolume Theatre's mission in producing Sondheim's musicals, particularly ones that are not seen or done that often. While the revue is not his strongest work, I applaud the effort nonetheless. ... full review

Never heard of this show before, but I love me a good musical revue and this was a very sweet performance with some beautiful vocals and toe-tapping musical direction. Gina Ansaldi and Kendre Scott are very charming as the couple featured in the story. Even more so when you learn that they’re actually a couple in real life. Yes, as much as Ansaldi and Scott shine as dynamic talents individually, you can’t deny there is an added layer of “awww” knowing they’re a married creative team and that authenticity makes the bittersweetness of the story all the more palpable. ... full review

A well-performed and thoughtfully-directed presentation of Sondheim's trunk songs. Fans of the composer's work will enjoy these deep cuts.... full review

It was sweet but lacked that extra little something... full review
