THE GLORIOUS ONES at CORNISH COLLEGE OF THE ARTS

pTHE GLORIOUS ONES, Based on the novel by noted authornbsp; Francine Prose, was hailed by the New York Times as "a valentine to the actor'snbsp; life--joyfully naughty, with buoyant music by Stephen Flaherty and a bawdy booknbsp; by Lynn Ahrens."nbsp;Both slapstick andnbsp; serious, the musical follows a traveling band of actors in 16thnbsp; century Italy, as they search for immorality and love, on a journey that leadsnbsp; right to present day. Its sevennbsp; archetypal characters are--the charismatic leading man, the sly harlequin,nbsp; the quack "dottore", the old miser, the voluptuous leading lady,nbsp; the devoted dwarf, and the elegant Moon Woman. /p
