Additional lyrics by Daniel Pinkerton
CHOPIN’S HEART is a new musical by GARY RUE and DAN PINKERTON. Set in Warsaw in 1939, six months before the Nazi and Soviet invasions that launched World War Two, it tells the story of a group of Warsaw's most illustrious cabaret performers who attempt to launch a new nightclub, battling the ghosts of their pasts and the oncoming rush of dictatorship and war. These selections of song and scenes feature Nautilus performers JODY BRISKEY, JULIE KURTZ, and JOEL LIESTMAN, with music director JERRY RUBINO.
