In Walnut Creek: Lamplighters Music Theatre presents Candide
The Royal National Theatre Version • Music by Leonard Bernstein
Come along for the ride on this madcap odyssey around the world, set to the sublime music of that quintessential modern American master, Leonard Bernstein: as classic in the realm of operetta as West Side Story is in the realm of American musical theatre. Join young Candide, his beloved Cunegonde, the absurdly optimistic philosopher Pangloss, and a virtual clown car of other eccentric characters on their picaresque journey in search of the meaning of life. Along the way, enjoy such timeless masterpieces as The Best of All Possible Worlds, Glitter and Be Gay, I Am Easily Assimilated, and Make Our Garden Grow.
