A TALE OF TWO CITIES - THE MUSICAL
 In the history of fictional literature, “A TALE OF TWO CITIES” is arguably the most famous book title on Earth. Since its publication in 1859, it has sold over 200 million copies.
It is one of the most electrifying love stories ever written told against the backdrop of one of the most terrifying eras in human history. Set during the French Revolution, it is a musical about injustice, vengeance, and the redemptive power of love.
When Dr. Manette is released from the French Bastille after 17 years, he must be resurrected from the brink of madness by his daughter, Lucie. In England they meet two very different men: the exiled French aristocrat, Charles Darnay, whom Lucie marries, and the drunken cynic, Sydney Carton. Soon family secrets and political intrigue combine to draw Lucie and her family back to Paris. At the height of the Reign of Terror, the story finds an unlikely hero in Carton.
The musical’s creative team has collectively garnered: 3 Tony Awards, 4 Drama Desk Awards, 1 Oscar Award, 1 Emmy Award, 2 Drama Logue Awards, 1 Obie Award, 17 Tony Award Nominations, 13 Drama Desk Nominations, and 1 Grammy Nomination.
