CLICQUOT: A Revolutionary Musical Album CLICQUOT: A Revolutionary Musical is an evocative love story set in the French Revolution, centered on the pioneering Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, whose inspiring journey changed the champagne industry forever. From the show’s standout single “The Man He Chose for Me” and the tender “Life on the Edge” to the rousing comedy number “Luxury” and the showstopper “One More Beginning,” the score elegantly combines traditional musical theater storytelling with an exciting contemporary flair.

Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin led an aristocratic life, but when her beloved husband François died unexpectedly, she did the unthinkable and led the company he started to become one of the most successful international businesses in the world. Barbe-Nicole dreamt of taking charge of her father’s business, but no amount of talent nor passion would allow a woman in business at the turn of the 19th century. CLICQUOT: A Revolutionary Musical follows Barbe-Nicole’s life and career as she overcomes the political turmoil of the Napoleonic Wars while conquering the challenges she faced at every turn.

Several intriguing historical figures intersect with Barbe-Nicole, including Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte and Jean-Remy Möet of the legendary Moët & Chandon wines. With a timeless score, Clicquot shines a light on the remarkable Barbe-Nicole, who defied the status quo and changed the rules for women in business. Today, Veuve Clicquot is celebrated as one of the greatest Champagne houses and one of the most iconic brands in the world, thanks to the bravery and audacity of Barbe-Nicole.

“Everything we learned while researching Barbe-Nicole completely blew us away,” said the show’s creators Lisette Glodowski and Richard C. Walter. “The Champagne itself is seemingly everywhere, with its instantly recognizable yellow label, and yet we found that so few people know the story of the brilliant woman behind it. During the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars, Barbe-Nicole followed her intuition and revolutionized the Champagne industry, leading her company to dizzying heights at a time when a woman doing so was almost inconceivable.”

“We instantly heard music in this story and the moment that allowed us to break into the world of this show was a decidedly auspicious one for Barbe-Nicole: her wedding day,” they continued. “Her father had strategically arranged for her to marry the son of his business rival, yet love blossomed between Barbe-Nicole and François Clicquot, and they began a journey that would change the world. For this album, we selected some of our favorite moments from the musical, including their wedding song, ‘The Man He Chose for Me.’ We have been so in awe of the dedication and kindness of everyone involved in creating this album, and we are so excited to share the first glimpses into Clicquot!”

BRAINSTORM RECORDS, YELLOW SOUND LABEL and 35th PARALLEL PRODUCTIONS have announced the release of CLICQUOT: A Revolutionary Musical – Studio Cast Recording, which features highlights from the sweeping and romantic new stage musical. The six-song EP will be available in streaming and digital formats on Friday, April 14. The show features book, music, and lyrics by the rising team Lisette Glodowski and Richard C. Walter. The first single, “The Man He Chose for Me,” will be released on Monday, February 13. The album is produced by Frank Galgano and Michael Croiter. The orchestrations and arrangements are by Frank Galgano and Matt Castle, who also provide vocal and dance arrangements. The 13-piece orchestra is conducted by Kenneth Gartman.
