The musical The Scarlet Pimpernel is a classic story of romance, intrigue and
swashbuckling adventure, based on the novels of Baroness Orczy. The lush score
takes us from the guillotines of Paris to the Royal Palace in London, as the elusive
Pimpernel rescues victims from the Reign of Terror and crusades for justice during the
French Revolution.
The show features songs like:
Into the Fire
When I look at her
Who is the Scarlet Pimpernel?
Why God Created Man
Madame Guillotine
You are My Home
