With Music & Lyrics by Christopher Curtis and Book by Christopher Curtis and Thomas Meehan. Chaplin is the showbiz musical about the silent film legend the world couldn't stop talking about. Chaplin is really about a man who had to become the most famous man in the world before he could find happiness by becoming his true self. It is a bright, often funny, happily tuneful and ultimately a moving new musical.
