BEN FRANKLIN IN PARIS (1964)

Description

Play & Lyrics by SIDNEY MICHAELS
Music by MARK SANDRICH JR.

An unjustly forgotten gem from 1964, Ben Franklin in Paris dramatizes Franklin’s efforts to get King Louis XVI to recognize the United States as a nation – a crucial step in the battle for independence. He is surprised to discover that one of King Louis’ closest advisors is his old paramour, Countess Diane DeVobrillac.

Sidney Michaels’ book was Tony-nominated, and Mark Sandrich’s score bursts with clever melodies including Half the Battle, I Invented Myself, We Sail the Seas, Look for Small Pleasures, and two songs by Jerry Herman, Too Charming and To Be Alone With You.
