Get a dose of Animal Magnetism
and get "Mesmerized"!
If you like musicals - if you like period costumes - if you like great singing - if you like seeing something you've never seen before, come see
(book by Al D'Andrea,
music by Darryl Curry, lyrics by MK Wolfe)
"a triumphant night of theater"
Set in 1777 Vienna,
Mesmerized
is the true story of
Dr. Anton Mesmer, now regarded as the father of modern hypnosis, and the scandal that erupted when he restored the sight of the young blind prodigy pianist Theresa Paradies using t
he radical curative technique and invisible force he called "animal magnetism."
The show plunges the audience into Mesmer's world at the dawn of the Age of Reason, populated with characters including Mozart, Benjamin Franklin, the Queen Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, and others - all 100% true encounters had by the infamous doctor, presented in dramatic musical theater format (with an ample dose of humor throughout).
The show will be presented at the Portland Ballet Studio Theater May 3-12, 2019.
Mark your calendars for a musical journey back to the 18th Century, in a show that crackles with an "Invisible Fire" (which is what Mesmer called the power he harnessed to effect his cures).
