An Enchanted April...a musical: Vocal Selections • Song Book

In just one short Enchanted April,the lives and hearts of four women are transfigured by wisteria, sunshine, a medieval castle...and each other.In this delightfully romantic musical, the power to change, or not to change, is presented on stage through song and scene in a way that all who experience it have been renewed and uplifted by it. London...a particularly dreary February in 1922. Four women long to leave their drab and tedious lives for the sun-soaked hills of Italy. Lotty and Rose are desperate to escape their stifling duties and distant husbands; Mrs. Fisher, a formidable and disapproving woman, wants only to sit in the sun to read and remember her receding youth; and Lady Caroline Dester longs for a place she can ponder the existential questions facing her without the distraction of adding suitors or overbearing parents. They dare to rent San Salvatore, a medieval castle awash with the scent of flowers and warmed by the sun, for a month of blissful privacy. Yet, amid the blossoms of fragrant wisteria, hazy heat and sensuous silence, each one will be transformed.Sometimes what seems impossible...isn't.
