The landmark musical is an electrifying fusion of morality, sexuality and rock and roll that is exhilarates audiences across the nation like no other musical in years.
Darius will be tackling the play, based on the 1891 stage play by Frank Wedeking -an enlightening story in a tale of passion and unforgettable union to the path of discovery.
