Synopsis
Before Britney Spears and Justin Bieber, there was Marie Antoinette. In David Adjmi’s contemporary take on the young queen of France, Marie is a confection created by a society that values extravagance and artifice. But France’s love affair with the royals sours as revolution brews, and for Marie, the political suddenly becomes very personal. From the light and breezy banter at the palace to the surging chants of "Liberte! Egalite! Fraternite!" in the streets, Marie Antoinette holds a mirror up to our contemporary society that might just be entertaining itself to death.Special Marie Antoinette Menu at Chez Moi
Chef Dominique Tougne and the Chez Moi staff have set up an exclusive 3-course dinner menu, inspired by Marie Antoinette. The $45 fixed price menu will be available during the entire run of the show—PLUS, all ticket buyers will receive a 10% discount with ticket stub to that day’s performance!
