This new musical tells the tumultuous tale of Veronica Franco, a celebrated courtesan/poet of 16th century Venice. Forced to become a courtesan when her family fortune is lost, (preventing her from marrying the man she loves), Veronica ultimately embraces the courtesan life because it affords her extraordinary education and access. It is not long before she is the most influential woman in the cultural and political life of her beloved city. As Veronica's star rises, however, Veniceis ravaged by war, plague, and the Inquisition. When Veronica finds herself on trial for witchcraft, she realizes that only her personal integrity can save her. “DANGEROUS BEAUTY”is adapted from the New Regency screenplay “The Honest Courtesan”written by Jeannine Dominy, released as the film “Dangerous Beauty” and inspired by the scholarly book “The Honest Courtesan” by Margaret Rosenthal. Casting and ticket sales information for “DANGEROUS BEAUTY” will be announced at a later date.
