Synopsis:
Neither death nor flimsy shoes can stop Queen Caroline, (Napoleon Bonaparte's youngest sister), while her household in the new Kingdom of Naples is in turmoil. Her husband, King Joachim, is consumed with guilt about her death. their daughters bicker, snipe and think of clever ways to drive him crazy. the King outlaws all dancing and balls, yet the daughters continue mysterious nightly forays, defying him openly and ruining their slipper like shoes. His scorned former lover, now the Queen of Sicily, plots to overthrow him using her son, the foppish, cruel Prince of Agata. A brash, determined young shoemaker hawks newfangled leather shoes. . . and he looks familiar. In this re-imagining of a beloved Grimm Brothers' tale, there is an urgent need to set things right. Promises made long ago must be kept, but Queen Caroline has only One More Night. Musical.
