Leonard Bernstein brilliantly brings to the stage Voltaire's famous satire.

The cast includes Tony Award winners Patti LuPone and Kristin Chenoweth, accompanied by the Westminster Symphonic Choir; Paul Groves, Stanford Olsen, and Sir Thomas Allen complete this stellar cast of Broadway stars. A favorite of musical comedy, the fantastic score includes such songs as "Life Is Happiness Indeed," "It Must Be So," "You Were Dead, You Know" and "Make Our Garden Grow."
