Boccaccio (1975) - repro

Dante Amicarelli, Kenneth Cavander, and Jerrold Ross’s 'Boccaccio' completed its celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Edison Theatre in 1975, completing an accomplished commercial residency as a wonderfully unique late-century musical comedy farce pastiche highlight. Expertly translating Giovanni Boccaccio’s classic 14th-century Italian renaissance literature masterpiece *The Decameron* onto the lyric stage, the fast-paced narrative pieces together an episodic parade of sophisticated sketches, bawdy bedroom farces, and folk arrangements.
