A thrilling musical-party charting the life of Marie Duplessis , the inspiration behind Verdi’s tale La Traviata.
On January 15th, 1847, Marie Duplessis – courtesan, party girl, liar and legend – got out of bed, put on a dress, ordered a bottle of champagne, and sat alone in her Paris apartment to celebrate her birthday. She died 18 days later, aged 23… but Mademoiselle is not done yet.
From poverty to infamy in burgeoning 19th century Paris, this is the wild and hilarious tale of a woman who knew one thing: good girls don’t make history.
Following hugely successful seasons in Sydney and Brisbane that had critics and audiences raving, and with a lush, live pop score by award-winning composer Basil Hogios, you are invited to the decadent final party of the woman who defied her fate and captured a nation.
We’re gonna party like it’s 1847. And it’s going to be HUGE!
