Book by Hugh Wheeler Introduction by Jonathan Tunick "Throwing caution to the winds, I assert that A Little Night Music comes as close as possible to being the perfect romantic comedy musical." - Brendan Gill, The New Yorker * "A jewelled music box of a show: lovely to look at, delightful to listen to." - T.E. Kalem, Time * "Heady, civilized, sophisticated and enchanting. Good God! An adult musical." - Clive Barnes, The New York Times

Yes, Full Vocal Score,
By
This review is from: A Little Night Music (Piano Vocal Score) (Paperback)
I'm not sure why there are review for the book and the movie, or why someone comments that this isn't the full score. I ordered it, and they sent me the full piano/vocal conductor's score.

BUY THIS!,
By
This review is from: A Little Night Music (Piano Vocal Score) (Paperback)
A Little Night Music is Sondheim's most beautiful show. it also has probably the most brilliant lyrics of any (especially songs like Now, Liasons, and Weekend in the Country.) My single disappointment with this score is that it does not contain the alternate version of "Glamorous Life" sung by Fredrika, which is probably the second most beautiful, heartbreaking song that Stephen ever wrote. this song was not in the original Broadway production but is included in many ever since it was used in the film. If you have never hear it, go out and find a recording of it. the song is available in other books (sondheim anthologies and musical theatre books) so do not fret
4.0 out of 5 stars
Terrific Writing,
This review is from: A Little Night Music (Libretto) (Paperback)
What I did to thoroughly enjoy reading Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" is read the play while listening to the music. This work contains some of his best songs -- including the "Soon," "Later," "Now" pieces that stay with a reader and a listener long after they finish.
