Triumph of Love


Milwaukee Journal Sentinal review

Book by James Magruder
Music by Jeffrey Stock
Lyrics by Susan Birkenhead

Although Hermocrates and Hesione have tried to protect Agis, their nephew and rightful heir to the throne of Sparta, from the outside world, he is now ready to reclaim his throne from his mortal enemy, Princess Leonide, whose father killed Agis' parents long ago. However, Leonide has fallen in love with Agis and vows to do whatever it takes to win his love. To accomplish that she dons four different disguises and seduces not only Agis, but Hermocrates and Hesione as well, all in the course of a single afternoon. Complications and comic confusion reign in this new musical, based on Pierre Marivaux's 18th-century comedy.

The Midwest premiere of a 1997 Tony Award-nominee.

Princess Leonide


The World Goes 'Round

"When it is time to ... be sexy or forceful,
Tari Kelly knows how to sell a song."
