| Summary |
Leonard Bernstein's brilliant comic operetta comes to dazzling new life under the guidance of director Lonny Price (A Class Act). Based on the classic Voltaire tale of an innocent young man's journey through a life filled with colorful characters and unexpected life lessons, this tune-filled frolic features Tony Award-winners Patti LuPone (Evita) and Kristin Chenoweth (from the Broadway smash Wicked) heading a dazzling cast including Paul Groves, Stanford Olsen, Sir Thomas Allen, and the Westminster Symphonic Choir. The impeccable score (with lyrics by luminaries including Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker, Stephen Sondheim, Richard Wilbur, and John La Touche) includes a host of delightful songs including Life Is Happiness Indeed, It Must Be So, You Were Dead, You Know, and Make Our Garden Grow. Now enjoy this all-new production that brings you the best of all possible musical worlds! |
