The Scarlet Pimpernel could be the original superhero! This swashbuckling action/adventure musical is based on Baroness Orczy’s famous 20th-century novel. The wealthy, snobbish Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life, even keeping from his newlywed that behind the mask he is the quick-thinking master of disguise and escape artist rescuing aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine in a gallant effort to preserve liberty, equality and fraternity during the French Revolution.
