King of Hearts is a musical love story with music by Peter Link, lyrics by Jacob Brackman, and book by Steve Tesich, and is based on the popular film directed by Philippe de Broca. The story is set in the fictional French village of DuTemps in September 1918, just at the end of World War 1 and follows Private Johnny Able’s whimsical quest for self-purpose. A marvel in its reach and in its moods, King of Hearts offers us something profoundly rare and magical – a romantic escape into the fantastic to discover the redemptive power of love.
Age Recommendation: 12 and up (based on adult situations & violence)
Duration: 2 hours and 30 minutes (including 1 intermission)
