The Scarlet Pimpernel is a colorful window into 18th-century French and British history, following Percy Blakeney, a proper English gentleman, who takes on a dashing double identity as The Scarlet Pimpernel to save French citizens from the blood-thirsty guillotine. The Pimpernel’s exploits soon become the talk of Paris and the fanatical Agent Chauvelin will stop at nothing to catch the Pimpernel and cut off his head.
With music by Frank Wildhorn, and a book and lyrics by Nan Knighton, The Scarlet Pimpernel features such popular numbers as “Into The Fire,” “When I Look At You,” “You Are My Home,” “She Was There,” and “I’ll Forget You.”
The Scarlet Pimpernel will run on the MMT stage from August 23rd–September 8th, with 8:00 pm evening performances on Fridays and Saturdays and 3:00 pm matinee performances on Saturdays and Sundays.
