The musical tells the story of the peasant girl Ti Moune and the challenges she overcomes to prove that love is stronger than death. Tony Award-winner Lea Salonga plays Erzulie, the goddess of love, opposite Hailey Kilgore who plays Ti Moune, Isaac Powell who plays Daniel Beauxhomme, Alex Newell who plays Asaka, Quentin Earl Darrington who plays Agwe, and Merle Dandridge who plays Papa Ge.
With book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, music by Stephen Flaherty, and direction by Michael Arden, the show began previews last November 9 and officially opened on Broadway last December 3 at the Circle in the Square Theater.
