  • Summary

  • The Bourgeois Gentleman of the title is a middle-class social climber, assured that by learning all the arts of a true and noble gentleman, he shall truly become one. This enables Moliere to satire both the pretentious middle class and the snobbish aristocracy all at one time. Originally presented in 1670 before the court of Louis the 14th with music by Jean-Baptiste Lully, it was more recently re-choreographed by George Balanchine to music by Strauss. This will be a purely spoken version of the original. - Summary by ToddHWCast list:Monsieur Jourdain, bourgeois: ToddHWMadame Jourdain, his wife: Lian PangLucile, their daughter: LydiaNicole, maid: Charlotte DuckettCléonte, suitor of Lucile: Tomas PeterCovielle, Cléonte's valet: Peter TuckerDorante, Count, suitor of Dorimène: MaskedTaiDorimène, Marchioness: Sarah HoltzMusic Master: Leanne YauPupil of the Music Master: Zames CurranDancing Master: Beth ThomasFencing Master: Jennifer FournierMaster of Philosophy: John BurlinsonTailor: K.
