Have it ''Norway''

Does anyone ever do ''Song of Norway,'' that 1944 Wright-Forrest operetta about Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg? There's a 1970 film version, starring Toralv Maurstad and Florence Henderson (that apparently hoped to be the next ''Sound of Music'').

I've never seen the film version, which is said to be a fiasco. I saw a stage version when I was a boy (about 1958) and thought it was a lot of fun--though I wasn't very experienced with musicals at that time. But it isn't exactly the small show the OP is looking for--it's a huge operetta.
