The Scarlet Pimpernel

A 1998 Tony nominee for Best Musical, The Scarlet Pimpernel is a lavish swashbuckling story of romance, intrigue and comedy. Based on the novel by Baroness Orczy, the show takes place during the French Revolution and follows a brave band of Englishmen who risk their lives to rescue the intended victims of the guillotine. Their leader is a charismatic hero known only by his calling card: the red, star-shaped wildflower known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Featuring music by Frank Wildhorn with book and lyrics by Nan Knighton.
