Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812 is a Broadway musical/opera taken from a chapter in War & Peace. Hmm—-who thought of that? Well, this really brilliant guy named David Malloy (music, lyrics, book and orchestrations.)

The show is fabulous, but don’t take my word for it. The New York Times critic Charles Isherwood says, “It is both the most innovative and the best new musical to open on Broadway since Hamilton, and an inspiring sign that the commercial theater can continue to make room for the new. (Heresy alert: I prefer this show to that one.)”
