Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812
Dave Malloy
Full Length Musical, Drama, 19th Century
Cast: 5M, 5F, 6M/F
An electropop opera ripped from a slice of Tolstoy's War & Peace --  this award-winning musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling. Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.
CRITIC'S PICK! "A witty, inventive enchantment from rousing start to mournful finish. It is both the most innovative and the best new musical to open on Broadway since Hamilton!" -- The New York Times
