About Copperfield! The New Musical
In a stirring and sweeping new musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ favorite and most autobiographical novel, brought to life by a spirited company of actor-musicians, COPPERFIELD! follows its resilient protagonist David from a difficult childhood through to adulthood. As a child, David endures the sadism of his stepfather Murdstone, the depredations of the villainous schoolmaster Creakle, and the mind-numbing routine of a London sweatshop. As an adult, he is visited by happiness and success as well as tragedy and loss.
Along the way, he meets some of Dickens’ most memorable characters: including his formidable Aunt Betsey Trotwood, the loyal Peggotty family, the eccentric Mr. Micawber, the gentle Agnes Wickfield, the charming but reckless Steerforth, the naïve Dora Spenlow, and the deceitful Uriah Heep.
Through friendship, hardship, love, betrayal, and personal triumph, David discovers his identity and purpose in a story that celebrates resilience, compassion, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.

I went in knowing nothing, but this show is phenomenal. The actors also play all the instruments and they are all excellent at all of it. A beautiful show that I highly recommend.
Copperfield is an intense story about a boy 's journey from orphan to a successful writer in England and the people he encounters throughout his journey that helped shape his life. The music isn't memorable but it helps move the story along. The actors all play instruments and are quite good too. The special effects are good though the show is a bit long and could be trimmed à bit.
Really imaginative story, incredibly multi-talented cast blew me away! Especially loved the live music. Great energy throughout. Touching tender moments as well. Did what good theatre does - helped me feel things deeply whilst entertaining me!
