Perfect World at El Portal Theatre

Who was Barbara Follett… and what really happened to her? Perfect World is a mystery musical set in the 1920s, telling the true story of a child prodigy who vanished at 25. From the age of four, she wrote prolifically, created her own utopia, Farksolia, and published two acclaimed novels by 14, but life and love conspired against her. The musical follows her remarkable life adventure and the police hunt that followed, driven by three voices who never gave up—Young Barbara, adult Barbara, and her mother Helen—alongside Captain Stahl, the lead investigator. Step into her world of ambition, imagination, and mystery, leading to a disappearance that changed everything.
