From a release - part of the New York Musical Theater Festival:
Les Enfants De Paris
Part of the 2011 New York Musical Theater Festival
at TBG Theater (312 W. 36th Street)
When life is left to chance there's nothing fleeting as romance...
Music and Lyrics by David Levinson
Book by Stacey Weingarten
Additional Development by Donna Drake
New York - The streets of Paris are not safe after young Pierre Frollo’s love for a fiery Muslim refugee sparks a series of cataclysmic events. Featuring a chanson- and Arab-influenced score, this gripping musical re-sets Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame De Paris amongst the disenfranchised youth and xenophobia of France 1958, and the Algerian War for Independence.
Please be advised that this show contains mature themes and content which may not be suitable for children.
Approximate Running Time: 2:15 (including intermission); with intermission
