WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With book by Charlie Schulman and music and lyrics by Michael Roberts, The Fartiste first was performed at the NYC International Fringe Festival in 2006 where it received the award of Outstanding Musical. Based on an actual true story, The Fartiste is about Joseph Pujol, whose musical derriere propelled him to being the highest-paid performer at the Moulin Rouge in 1890's Paris. Fun for all ages and complete with Can-Can dancers.
A French buffet will be served with doors opening one hour prior to the performances for lunch/dinner.
