Shadows of Pompeii is a full-length, fully-staged workshop production of a dramatic new musical that that tells a story of a young female artist’s desire to express herself and to live life to the fullest in the shadow of the male-dominated Roman Empire in Pompeii 79AD. Lila is a young woman fervent about painting, despite Roman society restrictions. She paints a mural of Pompeii’s governor, Tiberius, who is furious at the artist’s treatment and imprisons her. Yet, he is enticed by her fervor and passion. When Lila paints his portrait in prison to appease Tiberius’ wife, they slowly discover their attraction for each other. Will Lila and Tiberius’ love be fulfilled? Set in Pompeii, the musical echoes our fast-paced world where tragedy can happen at any moment or the eruption of a volcano can alter lives forever in an idyllic seaside town. It features a score by Tony-nominated composer Keith Herrmann and libretto by Bay Area playwright R.C. Staab. The cast features Bay Area actors who have frequently appeared in 42nd Street Moon productions at the Eureka Theatre. You won’t want to miss the opportunity to experience a new musical in its early stages of development and provide your thoughts and ideas about the production. With 42nd Street Moon’s backing, the musical will be submitted to the national musical theater festival in New York later this year. Shadows of Pompeii will be performed at the Eureka Theatre from April 16-26 replacing “The Great Revues”. Tickets for "The Great Revues" will be honored for Shadows of Pompeii. New tickets will not be issued. |
