DonateA Vibrant Musical Extravaganza
Sep 22 - Oct 08, 2023
Hanna Theatre, Playhouse Square
Run Time: 2 Hours and 15 Minutes (with a 15-minute intermission)
By Dave Malloy
Adapted from War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Directed by Victoria Bussert
A sensational slice of Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace lends inspiration to this bold, imaginative electropop opera from award-winning composer (and Lakewood, OH native!) Dave Malloy. Young, impulsive Natasha, bewitched by handsome and cunning Anatole, falls to scandal. Family friend Pierre, a middle-aged man struggling with his own demons, must pick up the pieces to restore her reputation. This critically acclaimed, Tony award-winning musical is a lively, breathtaking and unforgettable theatrical experience.
9/28/23 Pre-show Salon Discussion is cancelled due to Marquee Moments event occurring in Playhouse Square on the same evening.
