Synopsis

Subtitled “A Cautionary Chronicle of Monstrous Evil and Black hearted Villainy in Song & Dance,” this is a loony musical spoof of Wilkie Collins’ grim Gothic novel.

Amid murder, madness, betrayal and vile deeds, the music is merry.

There are even two fiendish murders set to music!

The central character, villainous Sir Percival Glyde, and his cohort in crime, Countess Fosco (proprietor of a madhouse), are two of the vilest – and funniest – foul fiends ever set to toe-tapping music.
