A SINGLE KISS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE...
FROM A TRIPLE OSCAR WINNER COMPOSER & THE CREATORS OF LES MISERABLES
THE WORLD PREMIERE OF A NEW MUSICAL
A love story set in Paris during the Second World War, Marguerite draws inspiration from one of the greatest of romantic novels, La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas. Marguerite is the beautiful and notorious mistress of a high ranking German officer. Armand is a young musician half her age who falls obsessively in love with her. Their dangerous love story is played out against the background of Occupied Paris.
Marguerite will be the World Premiere of a collaboration between Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg (Les Misérables, Miss Saigon and Martin Guerre) and the Oscar award-winning musical legend Michel Legrand and lyricist Herbert Kretzmer (Les Misérables).
Ruthie Henshall, the award-winning West End and Broadway actress returns to the London stage to play the title role.
