Two New Musicals.
This delightful pairing of one-act musicals, one classic and one modern, takes a comical and moving look at the mysteries of love. Act I, based on Schnitzler's The Little Comedy, is a delightful romp through the sexual ennui of turn-of-the-century Vienna, as two wealthy but bored socialites masquerade as impoverished bohemians seeking romance. Act II, based on the Jules Renard play Summer Share, explores modern affection and disaffection as two married couples share a summer house in the Hamptons. An Off-Off-Broadway sensation that successfully moved to Broadway, Romance/Romance is a charming and tuneful small-cast gem, here filmed live for television.
Based on the tragic fate of legendary Austrian Empress Elisabeth – the mythical and celebrated "Sisi" – and told from the mouth of her convicted murderer, Elisabeth recounts the enthralling tale of her fatal, lifelong love affair with death, heralding the decline of the Habsburg Empire.
