About This Show
Dear World tells the romantic fable of a loveable eccentric named Countess Aurelia and her misfit friends, who fight to save Paris from a group of business presidents and financiers who plan to drill for oil in the beautiful old neighborhood of Chaillot. Countess Aurelia conspires to dispose of the troublesome capitalists (with a little help from such memorable characters as the King of the Sewers), and Idealism triumphs over Business. Jerry Herman tells the story with a darkly enchanting score featuring “Kiss Her Now,” “I Don’t Want to Know,” “Through the Bottom of the Glass”, and a delightful “Tea Party” for a trio of madwomen. Featuring a book by Jerome Lawrence and R.E. Lee, based on The Madwoman of Chaillot. The musical is directed by Bob Knuth, with music direction by Carolyn Brady.
Special Thursday performances at 8p.m. on February 16th and 23rd and March 2nd.
