Triumph of Love (Musical)

Book by James Magruder; Music by Jeffrey Stock; Lyrics by Susan Birkenhead

Director: Paul Murphy

This musical is a romantic farce based on a classic 1732 Pierre de Marivaux French comedy.

Independent and self-assured Princess Leonide is smitten at first sight by Agis, not knowing that he has vowed to kill her. The princess disguises herself as Phocion to infiltrate the guarded "men-only" compound where Agis has been raised to follow Rationalist Philosophy by his uncle and aunt. Mistaken identities, hilarious complications, deeply felt desire, and surprising romantic entanglements ensue.
