Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA: May 14–July 27, 2008
|
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang
Exhilarating Pop Powerhouse
An enslaved Nubian princess. A privileged daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh. The soldier they both love. And a love triangle that could alter history forever. Based on Giuseppe Verdi's classic opera, Elton John and Tim Rice's Tony and Grammy-winning pop-rock powerhouse turns the legendary tale of AIDA into an exhilarating and rousing musical event. Bursting with energy and teeming with vibrant song and dance, AIDA is an epic tale of loyalty, betrayal, and forbidden love you will never forget.
