Love in times of revolution: With »Doctor Zhivago«, Boris Pasternak not only created an epochal novel of world renown, but also the template for David Lean's Oscar-winning Hollywood film adaptation with Omar Sharif. Now the love story about the poet doctor Zhivago can be experienced as a large-scale musical.

Growing up in the Russian Tsarist Empire, Yuri Zhivago gets caught between the fronts in the turmoil of war and revolution. As an independent free spirit, he not only stands between two regimes, but also between two women, his wife Tonia and the mysterious Lara. But Jurij is not Lara's only admirer: alongside him, Lara's childhood friend Viktor Komarovskij and her husband Pascha Antipov, leader of the Red Army, are also fighting for her heart.

Pasternak himself was no longer able to witness the success of his work; his novel was vilified and banned in the Soviet Union for 30 years. In 1958, out of love for his homeland, he even declined the Nobel Prize in Literature and died in seclusion two years later. With her Broadway musical, the two-time Grammy winner Lucy Simon brings his greatest work back to life and creates a contemporary sound that integrates emotional ballads as well as the overwhelming Russian tonal language.
