“Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve?” asks DesirĂ©e in the opening refrain of “Send in the Clowns.”  Absolutely.

A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is a melodramatic story, with memorable music, that gets a nice production.  It would have been aided by stressing the story’s soap-opera aspects to garner the humor built into the script, thus sending in the clowns.  As is, as represented by the opening night assemblage, audiences will enjoy this evening of musical theater on the Blossom grounds.

Kerry Clawson


Under the direction of Sean Morrissey, A Little Night Music’s tale of marital infidelities is handled with a light touch and a tongue-in-cheek humor, thanks to the characters witnessing all the romantic entanglements.

Mark Horning
 A Little Night Music is a pleasant evening of music, intrigue and naughtiness with a few laughs thrown in for good measure.  Arrive early and bring a picnic and something cold to drink and enjoy the family friendly atmosphere of outdoor summer theater.  You may find yourself coming back time and again.

Christine Howey
The talented Porthouse cast, under the direction of Sean T. Morrissey, gives this production a glossy texture that serves the material well. This includes an appearance by Terri J. Kent, producing artistic director of Porthouse, in the linchpin role of Desiree Armfeldt.
