There's a war going on out there somewhere, but behind the walls of New York City's premier social club, everyone celebrates the arrival of Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 for one weekend only. With chandeliers and caviar, the war can't touch anyone here. From the celebrated, award-winning composer Dave Malloy, this electropop opera based on a scandalous slice of Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace is a sweeping story of love, redemption, and scandal. Natasha Rostova arrives in Moscow to await the return of her fiance from the front lines. When she falls under the spell of the roguish Anatole, it is up to Pierre, a family friend in the middle of an existential crisis, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Written by Dave Malloy. Directed by Emilio Cerci. Cast: Michael Caizzi, Marcus Cruz-Santiago, Christian Leigh, Felicia Josey, Maura Dempsey.
