“The stories are beautifully weaved into a fantastical dreamlike tapestry, each getting their proper due and each containing all new songs from Workman that are beautiful and haunting.”
The Story
Recommended for adults 18+
.
Champagne’s golden bubbles are known world-wide as the symbol for celebration. However, the history of this effervescent luxury is riddled with widows, or Veuves in French. From the original Veuve Clicquot to Veuve Pommery, Veuve Bollinger and Veuve Laurent-Perrier, this cabaret musical will take you down into the Caves of Champagne where, despite war, discrimination and a slew of dead husbands, women pop the corks and come out on top.
