Description

EMILY is a new Canadian musical based on the famous trilogy by Lucy Maud Montgomery: EMILY OF NEW MOON, EMILY CLIMBS and EMILY’S QUEST. The three books deal with the growth of a young woman on Prince Edward Island at the turn of the century, both as an individual and as a writer. Many commentators feel that Emily contains Montgomery’s fantasy of the choices she wishes she had made in her life. EMILY was first presented at the Confederation Centre in Charlottetown in June of 1999 and instantly became a smash hit, proving to be one of the most popular shows in the festival’s thirty-five year history. Included her is an introduction by Richard Ouzounian, the entire play’s script, and four original songs from the musical.
