Washington, Aug 25 : 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)
