Synopsis

A vibrant, vivacious retelling of the myth of forbidden lovers. The book sparkles with sly wit, the songs are by turns laugh-out-loud funny and achingly romantic, and the classical tale shines anew, making for a luminous, deeply-felt show in the magical vein of The Fantasticks and Pippin.
