THE GLORIOUS ONES Returns To Boston
BODICE RIPPING IS BACK with THE GLORIOUS ONES- Stephen Flaherty's (Music) & Lynn Ahrens' (Lyrics) celebration of the impossible complications of love and lust in a 16th Century travelling troupe of self-obsessed actors who are completely infatuated with their own talents and any standing ovations they can marshal.
These masked comedic geniuses are the creators of a lineage of icons that includes Lucille Ball, Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin.
They are overly dramatic megalomaniacs and emotional gymnasts.They fall madly in love.They elope.
They purchase impotent love elixirs.
They navigate the choppy waters of backstage.
They infuriate the French King.
They go without money.
They go without food.
They go without connubial bliss.
They go without conjugal euphoria.
What they won't go without is applause.
This one-act musical opened to rave reviews on Broadway at Lincoln Center's Mitzi Newhouse Theatre on October 11, 2007.
