THREE MUSKETEERS Musical Plays Keeton Theatre, Closes 3/27

Clint Jefferies' The Three Musketeers, a musical retelling of the classic Alexandre Dumas tale of the young D'Artagnan, who leaves home to seek for adventure and glory in Paris with the King's Musketeers, will be presented by Donelson's Larry Keeton Theatre, March 11-27.

Directed by Jeffery Corrick, the musical focuses on the energy and the passion of the four heroes - Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan - form the central focus, as they thread their way through the political intrigues that surround them.

In the background, there is the clandestine passion of the English Duke of Buckingham for the French Queen, Anne, and all its political fall-out. In the foreground, D'Artagnan falls in love with the Queen's seamstress, Constance Bonacieux, and finds himself entangled with the mysterious Milady de Winter, a beautiful adventuress with several pasts - one of them as the wife of Athos.

"I'm delighted to be working in Nashville - and with such a talented and exciting group of theater professionals. It's great to get out of New York for a bit and discover what an amazing array of excellent theater is happening here in Nashville at any given time," the New York City-based Corrick explained.

Ginger Newman will musical direct, and Kate Adams-Johnson serves as both choreographer and fight choreographer.

The Three Musketeers runs March 11-27, with performances on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings, at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. Each performance is preceded by a three-course meal, beginning one hour before curtain. Tickets are $26 for dinner and show and $21 for show only with a special show only price of $11 on Thursday nights only.
