About the Show:
Natasha is a beautiful ingénue visiting Moscow while she waits for her beloved fiancée Andrey to return from the war. In a moment of indiscretion, she is seduced by the dashing (but already married) Anatole and her position in society is ruined. Her only hope lies with Pierre, the lonely outsider whose love and compassion for Natasha may be the key to her redemption… and to the renewal of his own soul.

The Great Comet boasts a groundbreaking score that mixes rock, pop, soul, folk and electronic dance music with classic Broadway. Following a critically-exalted premiere at Ars Nova in New York, a subsequent Off-Broadway transfer, and an acclaimed run on Broadway, this Tony Award-winning musical expands the possibilities for the genre with its daring score and bold storytelling.
