Based on the popular film directed by Philippe de Broca, King of Hearts is a musical love story set in a fictional French village in September 1918, just at the end of World War I. This musical is a marvel in its reach and in its moods, speaking to lost dreams, self-purpose, and the joy of living far removed from the craziness of the outside world.
The production is filled with Gallic whimsey but deep at its center it has something profoundly rare and magical – a romantic escape into the fantastic to discover the redemptive power of love.
