MARGUERITE
Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg collaborate with Michel Legrand to create this new musical.
A love story set in Paris during the Second World War, Marguerite draws inspiration from one of the greatest of romantic novels, La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas. Marguerite is the beautiful and notorious mistress of a high ranking German officer. Armand is a young musician half her age who falls obsessively in love with her. Their dangerous love story is played out against the background of Occupied Paris.
Marguerite will be the World Premiere of a collaboration between Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre), the triple Oscar winning musical legend Michel Legrand (Windmills Of Your Mind, Yentl, Summer of ’42) and lyricist Herbert Kretzmer (Les Misérables).
