The musical invites audiences to attend a grand soirée at the Hotel de France with Madame George Sand—the most famous author of her time and mistress of some of the greatest literary and musical geniuses of the 19th century—as she and her troupe of actors from the Comédie-Française present a joyful musical about her scandalous personal life and her public battle for the rights of women to live, love, and work as the equals of men.
