NAUGHTY MARIETTA
… will you be a part of this classic Victor Herbert Operetta? (Adapted by  RONALD HAMNER &amp; PHIL PARK)

Naughty Marietta is a lively, comedic operetta set in 1870, in an alternate history New Orleans which has been predominantly settled by the French and Italians. 

Casquette girls (young single French women who are given a suitcase of gold and everything they need to get married by the King) are shipped out to be snapped up by single men in the New World. One of the new arrivals, however, is not all she seems: Marietta is an Italian countess who has run away from an arranged marriage, and is determined to live her own life here in hiding.

Pirates are raiding the coast, and the Governor is useless. Captain Dick is determined to both catch the pirate and avoid getting married. Sparks fly when Marietta and Dick meet, but they protest they are just friends. The governor’s son, Etienne, secretly the pirate leader, also vies for Mariettas hand. 

A host of interesting and fun side characters are swept up in their wake: the confused but sweet Italian puppet master who hides Marietta as his son, the one casquette girl who isn’t chosen by a husband, the foolish sailor who will do anything to move up in life, Etienne’s poor mistress is deserted for Marietta but is instrumental in bringing him down…

Musical numbers including “Tramp tramp tramp”, “Zing Zing”, “Falling in Love with Someone” and “Live for Today” are sure to get the toes tapping and bring back some memories for many in our audiences.
