Best Price

These full Broadway scores are typically $75 to $100. This is the cheapest I've seen anywhere for new. I'm going to look for more!

My Review

Product arrived on time and as described. A great addition to my Stephen Sondheim collection!

BUY THIS!

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

Yes, Full Vocal Score

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.

Full Vocal Score

As advertised, this is the full vocal score to "Night Music" by Stephen Sondheim. The music is presented as a piano reduction of Tunick's orchestrations with instrumental cues written in. Measures of music which were omitted from the original Broadway production have been included, but are marked with asterisks detailing their omission. People familiar with the show will notice that Sondheim composed lyrics for the opening number which have been traditionally replaced with "la's." The score includes a complete breakdown of Tunick's orchestration, and notes that some instrumental parts are "optional."
