Catherine Zeta-Jones to star alongside Angela Lansbury in Broadway musical
By ANITuesday, August 25, 2009
WASHINGTON - Hollywood actress Catherine Zeta-Jones is all set to star in Broadway musical ‘A Little Night Music’, directed by Stephen Sondheim.
The romantic musical is about the love lives of several couples, alongside British-born actress Angela Lansbury, reports Contactmusic.
The 83-year-old TV, film and theatre star Lansbury only accepted the role on the premise that she would be working with a highly-rated co-star in New York’s celebrated theatre district.
According to the New York Post: “The great Angela Lansbury agreed to play Madame Armfeldt, provided the producers lined up another star to play her daughter, Desiree. Lansbury didn’t want to shoulder a multi-million dollar Broadway revival by herself.”
The paper further reported that Catherine accepted the role after receiving a personal call from Sondheim. (ANI)
