Death Takes a Holiday
Tour Overview
Although “death” is in the title, the operative word is “holiday!” Death Takes a Holiday began as a 1924 play by Alberto Casella, followed by the 1934 film. This beautiful and heartbreaking musical adaptation is a celebration of the limited time we spend on earth. Just after World War I, the loneliest of souls arrives at an Italian villa disguised as a handsome young prince. For the first time, Death experiences the joys and heartbreaks of life.
Experience Death Takes a Holiday at Meadow Brook Theatre, with lunch at Finnegan’s Pub & Grille.
