Tussaud/Antoinette

Tussaud/Antoinette, inspired by outrageously unreliable legends and claims, this story reimagines the historical fantasy of Madame Marie Tussaud’s relationship with one of her most famous subjects, Marie Antoinette.

Before Madame Marie Tussaud achieved wax museum fame, she was a sculptor, nearly guillotined during the French Revolution. She escaped the Reign of Terror by using her talents and went on to not only document history but to become it.

Tussaud/Antoinette marks Jody Christopherson’s directing debut. Christopherson, a recent 2021 Drama League nominee (excavation with All for One Theater) is known for unconventional horror solo works (St Kilda, AMP). The role of Marie Tussaud will be performed in rep by Jody Christopherson and Kodi Lynn Milburn in her Off-Broadway debut.
