"Gonna have to study up a little bit - If you wanna keep with the plot - Cuz it's a complicated Russian novel - Everyone's got nine different names - So look it up in your program - We'd appreciate it, thanks a lot. - Da da da - Da da da - Da da da" Arriving in the glittering opulent world of Moscow High Society, the impulsive and romantic Natasha Rostova awaits the return of her fiancé from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of an intoxicating aristocrat, it is up to the unlikely hero, Pierre, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation. Inspired by a scandalous slice of Tolstoy's War and Peace, multi-award-winning Dave Malloy's dazzling, genre-defying musical is a ravishing party from start to finish.
