About Monte Cristo
Monte Cristo, from the writers behind The York’s Penelope, or How the Odyssey Was Really Written: bookwriter and lyricist Peter Kellogg (Desperate Measures) and composer Stephen Weiner (The Rivals). 1815 France. Hours before his wedding, the first mate of the ship Pharaon, Edmund Dantes, is falsely accused of conspiring to help Napoleon return to power. Unknown to his fiancé, Mercedes, Edmund is arrested and consigned to the dungeons of the Chateau d'If. When he finally escapes 18 years later, Edmund learns that Mercedes has long ago married one of the very men responsible for his imprisonment. Based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas, Monte Cristo transforms the greatest revenge story of all time into a thrilling new musical for our time. Monte Cristo will be directed by Peter Flynn (Smart Blonde) with choreography by Marcos Santana (In the Heights - Helen Hayes Award nominee) and music direction and orchestrations by David Hancock Turner (Desperate Measures).
A good adaptation of the classic novel--most of the compromises due to condensing were good and worth seeing again particularly with those voices.
Amazing singers, serviceable music, abominable story and pacing. Butchery of a classic novel. I cringe at what they did to it. Even if I didn't know the original story, I'd still walk out thinking what the heck did I watch?
MC is an impressive, ambitious production. A truly great cast, good songs (nice melodies, clever lyrics), and a coherent script. I enjoyed it, although it seemed more comfortable with the comedic than the dramatic.
