Click below to watch dress rehearsal footage of Brigham Young University's January 2015 production of Frank Wildhorn's THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Preston Yates, who plays Edmond Dantes/Count of Monte Cristo, sings a number from the production with Shae Robins, who plays Mercedes.
The Brigham Young University Department of Theatre and Media Arts and interdisciplinary Music Dance Theatre program will present the U.S. premiere of The Count of Monte Cristo, a new musical from Tony Award-nominated composer
Frank Wildhorn and Tony Award-nominated lyricist and book writer
Jack Murphy.
The opportunity for BYU to stage The Count of Monte Cristo came when Wildhorn visited BYU to perform and teach master classes. After spending time coaching students on their vocals, Wildhorn was so impressed with their level of talent that he asked if BYU would like to present the U.S. premiere of his musical.
The Count of Monte Cristo will be on stage in the de Jong Concert Hall of the Harris Fine Arts Center from tonight, Jan. 22 to Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015. Tickets at
BYUArts.com.
