Star of Lennox is a contemporary ensemble musical (4 lead characters, with a chorus of at least 6) set in London at the end of the 19th century. Celia Lennox is the headliner of the failing Joie de Vivre Music Hall Club in London when aspiring composer Jasper Lamoureaux falls in love-at-first-sight with the club and the girl. It slowly becomes clear that Jasper isn’t the ingénue he presents himself to be. When Celia finds herself metaphorically trapped in Jasper’s clutches (by way of a coaxed and rushed marriage), Jasper decides the only way to rid himself of the wife he no longer desires is to send her to a Woman’s Asylum for Hysteria. Act Two of this play is experimental and sound/movement based, as it follows Celia’s experience in the asylum and her journey to her breaking point.

    Love how experimental this play is while also feeling so true to the period and genre it's playing in. A musical that's starting a conversation of abusive male artists that is long overdue. So excited to see this staged.
