Main Street Players
The Duke's Folly (an original musical)
Grades 9 - Age 22
Synopsis
During the shimmering social season of 1817, three ambitious young women find their hearts—and reputations—tested when a scandalously rakish duke arrives in town. Passions ignite, setting off a tempest of jealousy, revenge, and romance with details so shockingly daring that even the most brazen society gossips may blush before publishing them.
This jukebox musical includes popular music like “Rumor Has It” by Adele, “Risk” by Gracie Abrams, “Like I’m Gonna Lose You” by Meghan Trainor and John Legend, and more adding a modern touch to its regency style.
Which bride will end up with the duke? The answer is in the hands of the audience, whose votes during intermission decide the fate of romance, making every performance a one-of-a-kind experience.
