A love story speaks to everybody...
From Nana, Emile Cola's iconic novel of decadence,desire and destitution, Montreal's Monlove Enterprises have created N - The Queen of Paris, a new musical that promises to capture the heart of seduction and romance that dictates the life of this alluring temptress.
Premiering at the Elgin Theatre, before starting a Broadway engagement in 2016, N- is a fresh and naturalistic adaptation of Nana's rags-to-riches tale winding the alluring atmosphere of champagne soaked Parisian theatre of the 19th Century into a contemporary tale.
