The joys, fears and loves of the celebrated French writer are at the center of this poignant, life-affirming musical by Harvey Schmidt and Tom Jones, the authors of "The Fantasticks" and "I Do! I Do!," featuring one of their most sophisticated scores to date.brbrAct One finds Colette a naive young bride-and ghostwriter-of an older, highly successful author. Ultimately, his opportunistic, philandering ways force her to assert her independence. In Act Two, an older, wiser Colette-now divorced and successful in her own right-learns to lower her defenses in the arms of a younger man when her new found happiness is threatened by the ravages of World War II. In good times and bad, we see how her determination to "experience it all" leads Colette to create such world-famous characters as Claudine, Cheri and Gigi.
