Marry Me A Little is a musical with lyrics and music by Stephen Sondheim. Conceived by Craig Lucas and Norman René, it set songs cut from Sondheim's better-known musicals to a simple dialogue-free plot about the relationship between two people who are in an emotional conflict during an evening in their one-room apartment.

The musical originally was staged by the off-off-Broadway Production Company. It opened on October 29, 1980 and closed December 28, 1980. It re-opened March 12, 1981 at the off-Broadway Actor's Playhouse, where it ran for 96 performances. Directed by Rene and choreographed by Don Johanson, it starred Craig Lucas and Suzanne Henry.
