The Visit (Kander & Ebb)

Synopsis

Based on the satirical play by Friedrich Dürrenmatt as adapted by Maurice Valency, The Visit is a musical about greed, love, and one woman’s carefully plotted revenge.

The oft-widowed Claire Zachanassian, richest woman in the world, returns to the hardship-stricken town of her birth.

The locals pray that her wealth will bring them a new lease on life, but her arrival carries a dreadful price.

Sardonic and morally complex, The Visit asks “What can your heart afford?”
