Voltaire's signature satire, Bernstein's stunning score, and several dashes of slapstick comedy—it's the best of all possible worlds. Scott Bakula takes on the dual role of Voltaire and the hilariously misguided Dr. Pangloss as our optimist Candide faces romantic rejection, natural disasters, the Inquisition—you know, the everyday ups and downs of life. Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados leads a cast also featuring Patti LuPone, tenor Duke Kim and soprano Meghan Picerno in Bernstein's opera-meets-Broadway hybrid, featuring unforgettable songs like "Glitter and Be Gay" and "Make Our Garden Grow." Join our plucky (and unlucky) hero on a whirlwind adventure around the world, where every new destination brings another spectacular disaster. Music by Leonard Bernstein. Book adapted from Voltaire by Hugh Wheeler, in a new version by John Caird. Lyrics by Richard Wilbur. Additional lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, John La Touche, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker and Leonard Bernstein .
