Candide

CandideT1741362853
A naive young man believes that 'all is for the best' even when confronted by evil. Originally performed in 1956, additional songs added in 1974. Candide explores a world that is dominated by violence, greed, war, hatred and a series of catastrophic events seemingly unmitigated by goodness, truth, beauty or God.
Book by Voltaire
Music Leonard Bernstein
Adapted by Hugh Wheeler
Lyrics Richard Wilbur
Lyrics Stephen Sondheim
Lyrics John Latouche
