'DAZZLING' New York Times

COURTESAN. PARTYGIRL. LIAR. LEGEND

Paris 1847. Part vaudeville, part cabaret, part MTV-goes-Baroque, Songs for the Fallen is the wild and hilarious musical of a woman who knew one thing: good girls don’t make history. The extraordinary life of Marie Duplessis – courtesan, party girl, liar and legend - from desperate poverty to meteoric rise as the most notorious woman in France. The Diana of her time, Princess of the People, and the muse that inspired The Lady of the Camellias, La Traviata and Baz Lurhmann’s Moulin Rouge! Songs for the Fallen is an invitation to the decadent final party of the real-life woman who defied her fate, and captured a nation.
