DAVID COPPERFIELD, THE NEW MUSICAL
Book, Lyrics and Music by Jeffrey Scharf
Directed by Joseph Paul Stachura and Julie James
Musical Direction by Max Bennett-Parker
Orchestrations by Brian Allan Hobbs
Choreography by Lee Ann Payne
Adapted from Charles Dickens’ favorite and most autobiographical novel, “David Copperfield, The New Musical” follows David’s life. As a child, David endures the sadism of his stepfather Murdstone, the depredations of the villainous schoolmaster Creakle, and the mind-numbing routine of the London sweatshop to which he is consigned after the death of his mother. As an adult, he is visited by happiness and success, tragedy and loss. Along the way, he meets some of Dickens’ most memorable characters: his formidable Aunt Betsey, the seafaring Peggotty family, the monosyllabic coachman Barkis, the grandiloquent Mr. Micawber and the contemptible Uriah Heep.
