There’s oil beneath this Paris bistro. And these rapacious corporate executives won’t let a few artists, outcasts and madwomen impede their progress. But who’s the true eccentric in this struggle between cultural preservation and corruption? 

Greed and desire go on trial underground in this poetic satire musical written by the same composer as Hello, Dolly! and Mame. 

DEAR WORLD is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Tams-Witmark LLC. www.concordtheatricals.com
