Choose options
The short-lived 1972 Broadway musical 'Ambassador' presents a highly ambitious, opulent musical adaptation of Henry James’ classic 1903 psychological novel The Ambassadors. Featuring a sweeping, classical score by Don Gohman and lyrics by Hal Hackady, the production opened at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre after a West End run. The plot tracks Lambert Strether, a conservative, middle-aged New England attorney who is dispatched to Edwardian Paris to rescue his wealthy widow fiancée's son from a suspected scandalous affair, only to fall completely under the sophisticated, liberating spell of Parisian high society himself, starring Howard Keel and Danielle Darrieux.
