Beautiful Little Fool

This is an intriguing one: new American musicals are a fairly common sight at Southwark Playhouse. But not many of them come helmed by Broadway heavyweight Michael Greif, the man responsible for the original productions of Rent, Next to Normal and Dear Evan Hanson. The musical in question is Beautiful Little Fool, by Hannah Corneau and Mona Mansour, which concerns tempestuous Jazz Age literary titans Zelda and F Scott Fitzgerald, as seen through the eyes of their daughter Scottie. Corneau herself plays Zelda, with David Hunter as F Scott and Lauren Ward as Scottie.
