 Inspired by a scandalous slice of Tolstoy’s War and Peace, this dazzling, genre-defying musical was nominated for 12 Tony Awards on Broadway. Set in the glittering and opulent world of Moscow High Society, it tells the story of the impulsive and romantic Natasha Rostova who is awaiting the return of her fiancé from the front lines. But when she falls under the spell of an intoxicating aristocrat, it is up to the unlikely hero, Pierre, to pick up the pieces of her shattered reputation.

The production opens on 16 December, with previews from 9 December, and runs until 8 February 2025.
