Whoa. Stop now. Really. If no one answers you, maybe they're A.) not looking (seeing as how this is a NEW FORUM...or did you miss that?) or B.)noone has an answer. Let dead threads die.

And check out www.stageagent.com. Or, hell, try www.----.com either one should work.


And the show she's from is A LIttle Night Music...did you ever even think of trying that forum? Really. Rolling Eyes

Fredricka character description

"Frederika" - A Little Night Music

Frederika is the youngest of the Armfeldt women, the daughter of Desiree and the granddaughter of Madame Armfeldt. Frederika is young and innocent and represents the group of people for whom the first of the three smiles of a summer night is reserved: the young, who know nothing. The second smile is for the fools - like Fredrika's mother - who know too little and the third is for the old - like Madame Armfeldt herself - who know too much.

I don't think any kind of special accent is employed. I've certainly never heard a recording that makes use of Swedish accents. Generally the performers in A Little Night Music make use of standard English Received Pronounciation, with minor deviations from this indicating things like status and class.

Later days

Thanks David!

And, actually this ISN'T a new forum. They just stopped because no one posted recently.... except for me, so they got rid of all the old posts and kept the more recent ones. And I did check stageagent (which said one sentence abot each character) and I googled it, but that wouldn't do anything! I just wanted some help and I really appreciate what I got! So thanks again David!!!

That was me, and this used to be the Little Night Music forum. I didn't notice that is was changed. It's still the same on the home page.

Hi I edited them together for you. Smile Aimee
