The Count is a musical depiction of Alexandre Dumas’ epic tale, The Count of Monte Cristo. Adapted for the stage, this new musical brings to life the wrenching and tragic story of Edmond Dantes, a young French sailor who is wrongfully accused of a crime he didn’t commit. Using a combination of knowledge about his enemies' weaknesses and limitless resources, Dantes as the Count of Monte Cristo, sets about orchestrating and carrying out each betrayer’s downfall. His quest for vengeance conflicts with his pursuit for faith and love, unleashing a complex, internal struggle for recompense and peace. In the end, his hate destroys what he loves most.

The Count, the musical, is a rich tapestry of contrasts: a rich and gritty composition combined with visual disparities: poverty and opulence, cold dank prison cells and plush rooms, unbridled confidence and deep despair. The action happens on stage: a whipping, a hanging, a stabbing, and death. This new musical is meant to bring joy, inspire and convey the realities of living in a Napoleonic world.
