THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: THE MUSICAL Premieres at Hollywood Fringe Tonight

Through the Hollywood Fringe Festival, musical theatre writing team Dahan and D'Angelo present their WORLD-PREMIERE of THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: THE MUSICAL, a story about one man, Edmond Dantès, and his undeniable thirst for revenge against his enemies, based on the novel by Alexandre Dumas.

Jealousy. Tyranny. Greed. Revenge. Ten years in the making, THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: THE MUSICAL is a story about one man, Edmond Dantès, and his dark transformation into the antihero known as the Count of Monte Cristo. A tale of love, loss, and extreme agony coupled by an undeniable thirst for retribution against his enemies, this musical expands on the many motifs raised in the novel while offering a fresh perspective on the nearly thousand-paged piece of literature.

This production features an incredible ensemble, from those who have been on Broadway to newcomers on the scene, starring our first-ever cast: David Meinke as The Count of Monte Cristo, Laurine Price as Mercedes, David Zach as Danglars, Anthony Gruppuso as Villefort, Parnell Marcano as Caderousse, Bryan Vickery as Albert, Mary Nepi as Valentine, Henry Kaiser as Abbe Faria, Teresa Tracy as Heloise, Anderson Piller as Edward, Stephen Novick as Andrea Cavalcanti/Young Dantes, Jillian Easton as Lucille Debray, Todd Andrew Ball as Noirtier/Morrel, TR Krupa as Franz D'Epinay, Richelle Meiss as Luiga/Young Mercedes, and Amanda Walter as The Dancer.

Come with us on an incredible journey to nineteenth-century France, where unsettling politics, playful masquerades, and conniving desperation all intertwine to create THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: THE MUSICAL.
