Beautiful Little Fool description
Told through the eyes of their adult daughter Scottie, Beautiful Little Fool tells the story of Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald: brilliant, tempestuous and infamous.
Years on from the Roaring Twenties, with the party long over, the lives and writings of Scottie’s legendary parents are brought vividly to life in this new musical.
Directed by Tony Award nominated Michael Greif (‘Dear Evan Hansen’, ‘Next To Normal’, ‘Rent’), Beautiful Little Fool features electrifying music and lyrics by Hannah Corneau (‘Wicked’ Broadway, ‘Renascence’) and a powerful book by Mona Mansour (‘The Vagrant Trilogy’). This UK premiere stars Lauren Ward (‘Matilda’, ‘Dear Evan Hansen’, ‘Stranger Things: The First Shadow’) as Scottie, David Hunter (‘Waitress’, ‘The Time Traveller’s Wife’, ‘Once’) as F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Hannah Corneau as Zelda.
