The Amorous Flea
by Jean-baptiste Moliere, Jerry Devine, Bruce Montgomery
Synopsis
This tuneful Off Broadway hit is based on Moliere's School for Wives.
It revolves around the classic tale of the old goat who raises a young girl to be a perfect wife - for him.
His plans are foiled on the brink of marriage by a handsome young man, the son of an old fiend.
A hilarious stream of devious servants, false names and falser friends, and mad cap confusion culminate in the heroine discovering the plans of the conniving men in her life.
Press Reviews
"Fresh and highly entertaining."
— The New York Newsday
"A fine concoction of clowning, cavorting and catchy tunes. It's nonsense in the classic vein, as stylish as all get out, and as funny...as a first rate little musical should be."
— Judith Crist
