"Send in the Clowns"

I saw an excellent production of "A Little Night Music" at the Arena Dinner Theater this evening.  I had never seen this particular musical by Stephen Sondheim before and I really enjoyed it.  The singers/actors had excellent voices and the live instrumental music was beautiful.  The setting of this multilayered and sometimes silly love story was "the turn of the last century in Sweden" and the costuming was outstanding.  I applaud the cast and director for not playing this with fake Swedish accents.  I have always loved the song "Send in the Clowns"  and it was a real joy to hear it as it occurs in the story.  I don't think it will spoil the ending to tell you they all lived happily ever after.
