Zelda
Zelda is a love story loosely based on the lives of Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. Zelda, a young, beautiful southern belle meets a handsome, twenty-one year old author named F. Scott Fitzgerald at a dance on July 4, 1917 in Montgomery, Alabama. The two fall madly in love at first sight and together, they decide that they are going to create a new kind of American celebrity. Zelda is ultimately about the two lovers’ rise, their fall, and their almost divine desire to rise once more… together. This show was first presented at the Lenape Regional Performing Arts Center in Marlton, New Jersey where it was honored with eight Barrymore Nominations for Excellence in Theatre including Best Musical. The final rewrite for the show has been completed and we are in the process of securing a theater to present the pre-Broadway production of the show.
Take a moment to listen to the audio clips and the video presentation for the show on our podcast page.
