Lautrec
Music & lyrics by Charles Aznavour: English Lyrics by Dee Shipman: Book by Shaun McKenna
Shaftesbury Theatre, London - April 6, 2000. Closed 17 June, 2000
A bio- musical of the life, loves and times of Toulouse-Lautrec. According to Nicholas de Jongh reviewing the musical in the London Evening Standard he said of the show:
"Lautrec ambles its way through the sex-life of the late 19th century painter. It treats truth as a very distant cousin indeed. Of the sexually transmitted disease that killed him there is no mention."
