Gerald Jay Markoe and Michael Colby’s 'Charlotte Sweet' arrived Off-Broadway at the Cheryl Crawford Theatre in 1982 as a deliciously dark, entirely through-sung music-hall opera pastiche that generated an immediate cult following and captured three Drama Desk nominations. The brilliantly eccentric plot centers on Charlotte Sweet, a naive young Victorian soprano possessing an impossibly high vocal range, who is kidnapped by a sadistic circus impresario and forced into a bizarre vocal troupe called the "Circus of Miracles," hooked on addictive throat medicine to maintain her high notes. Directed by Edward Stone, the acclaimed production starred Judy Blazer and Christopher Howell.
