Norton Singer’s latest musical production is “The Scarlet Pimpernel” based on the novel by Baroness Emma Orczy written in 1905. The novel was a romance-adventure novel. Both the novel and musical is about the double life of an English nobleman. Percy pretends to be a foppish wastrel while he and his band of other English noblemen sail over to France to rescue victims of the Reign of Terror from the guillotine following the French Revolution.
