Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 at Center Stage Theater

"Gonna have to study up a little bit if you wanna keep with the plot
Cuz it’s a complicated Russian novel.
Everyone’s got nine different names
So look it up in your program, we’d appreciate it, thanks a lot.
Da da da, da da da, da da da.”

Arriving in the glittering opulent world of Moscow High Society, the impulsive and romantic Natasha Rostova awaits the return of her fiancé from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of an intoxicating aristocrat, it is up to the unlikely hero, Pierre, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.

Inspired by a scandalous slice of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, Dave Malloy’s dazzling, genre-defying musical is a ravishing party from start to finish. Join Out of the Box Theatre Company for the Tony Award-winning spectacle that The New York Times hailed as “the most innovative and best new musical to open since Hamilton!”

Featuring Deborah Bertling (Marya), Michael Colón (Andrey/Bolkonsky), Samantha Eve (Sonya), Quinn Halgrimson (Mary), Brian Hoyson (Pierre), Micheal Lao (Anatole), Maile Kai Merrick (Natasha), Marisol Miller-Wave (Hélène), CJ Smith (Balaga), and Nik Valinsky (Dolokhov).
