Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812

Overview

Directed by Derek Van Barham | Music Direction by Nick Sula

“There’s a war going on somewhere out there, and Andrey isn’t here.” Young and impulsive, Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiancé Andrey from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, family friend Pierre must push through his existential crisis to help Natasha pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy’s epic novel War and Peace, this innovative musical spectacle took Broadway by storm with its “electropop opera” score. This daring and bold new work received two Tony Awards and 12 nominations, igniting the imagination of artists and audiences while expanding the possibilities of musical theatre storytelling.
