Ah, Fifi! Everyone loves Fifi! Customers, soldiers, and especially Etienne. But she's a hat shop girl with big dreams. Madame Cecile, Etienne's uncle, and an American businessman - all have other plans for Fifi! Enjoy "Mascot of the Troop," "If I Were on The Stage," "The Time, The Place and The Girl," "I Want What I Want When I Want It," and "Hats Make the Woman." That's just a hint of this wonderful score - hidden in one of those songs is the most famous of all, "Kiss Me Again."
Mlle. Modiste features Stephanie Bacastow, Sarah Bleasdale, Keith Broughton, Andrew Buck, Alexa Devlin, Charlotte Detrick, Vince Gover, Amy Maude Helfer, Mariah Muehler, Jonathan Fox Powers, Christopher Robin Sapp, David Seatter, and Sarah Caldwell Smith. (Cast subject to change).
The show has music by Victor Herbert, a libretto by Henry Blossom, and a new libretto adaptation by Alyce Mott. The Music Director/Conductor is Michael Thomas, William Hicks plays the piano, Alyce Mott stage directs, and Dianna Garten stage manages.
The Victor Herbert Renaissance Project LIVE! is the world's only company exclusively dedicated to reviving the work of Victor Herbert, an Irish American composer, conductor, musician, and orchestration legend. Herbert indelibly influenced the foundations of the American musical theater by writing for and placing the full orchestra into the Broadway Theater Pit in 1894. Founded in 2014 by the company's Artistic Director Alyce Mott, a leading Herbert historian and librettist, and Music Director Michael Thomas, VHRP LIVE! is a registered 501(c)(3) corporation and is supported by generous funding from The Victor Herbert Foundation.
