THE STORY

Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars, MADAME CLICQUOT: A Revolutionary Musical tells the remarkable true story of a young woman who defied societal expectations to become one of the most powerful forces in the history of champagne. In 1789, Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin fled her boarding school as revolution engulfed France. A decade later, an arranged marriage to François Clicquot, the son of her father’s business rival, unexpectedly leads to an innovative partnership in winemaking. But when tragedy strikes, she faces an impossible choice – surrender to fate or risk everything to change the industry forever. With innovation, resilience, and a bold gamble that could make or break her legacy, she takes on the male-dominated world of champagne, transforming the industry and securing her place in history.

A COLLABORATIVE LAUNCH

This premiere is presented in collaboration with female-led 42nd Parallel Productions, this musical comes to Pittsburgh following sold-out concerts and a concept album – marking a crucial step on its Broadway journey.
“This production exemplifies Pittsburgh CLO’s deep commitment to developing new musical,” said Mark Fleischer, Executive Producer, Pittsburgh CLO. “Our collaboration with 42nd Parallel Productions enables us to give MADAME CLICQUOT the world-class debut it deserves—while offering Pittsburgh audiences an exclusive first look at a show poised for Broadway and beyond.”
