We can’t announce this title quite yet, but we look forward to sharing the news with you this July!
There’s a circus of magic to do when a prince learns the true meaning of glory, love and war in Stephen Schwartz’s iconic and unforgettable musical masterpiece. Heir to the Frankish throne, a young prince is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment. He seeks it in the glories of the battlefield, the temptations of the flesh and the intrigues of political power. In the end, though, the prince finds that happiness lies not in extraordinary endeavors, but rather in the unextraordinary moments that happen every day.
(Please note that due to temporary licensing restrictions, we can’t quite announce our show title yet, but the work needs to get started! Thanks for understanding!)
