Desirée and Sondheim

Catherine Zeta-Jones (shown below), who won an Oscar for kicking up her heels in "Chicago," will make her Broadway debut in a revival of the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical "A Little Night Music." She'll play the character of Desirée that Elizabeth Taylor portrayed in the 1978 film adaptation.

Five-time Tony winner Angela Lansbury has signed to play her mother in the new production, which is set to open Dec. 13 at the Walter Kerr Theatre in New York. It will be directed by Trevor Nunn, who staged the musical in London in 2008 at the Menier Chocolate Factory.
