This hilarious yet touching new musical charts the love between a Christian count and a Muslim princess in a time of war, hatred, and prejudice -- except that the year happens to be 1224. Based on the French Romance "Aucassin and Nicolette," Chasing Nicolette confronts the two lovers with endlessly hysterical obstacles: angry parents, murky dungeons, swashbuckling swordplay, a man-hungry convent school graduate, and one very put-upon servant. This must-see new work boasts a melodic score that is both romantic and quirky, with sharp, funny lyrics which accompany a surprising and clever book that will charm you with every word. Chasing Nicolette is a rollicking, romantic comedy you'll want to see again and again.
