Candide, the quintessential innocent, has been taught by his tutor, Pangloss, that "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." Gradually, Candide and his beloved, Cunegonde, learn--as they travel through a world peopled with evil characters and various cruelties--the limits of Pangloss`s philosophy. Voltaire`s great comic masterpiece is a satire of the doctrine of optimism, which Voltaire sees as a blind acceptance of human misery.

Although its original Broadway cast album made it a success d'estime in the eyes of a generation of musical theater fans, the first production of Leonard Bernstein's musical adaptation of Voltaire's Candide in 1956 was a critical and commercial failure that ran only 71 performances. More failed attempts to make it work followed until 1973, when director Harold Prince, fresh from A Little Night Music, brought in his collaborators on that show, librettist Hugh Wheeler and songwriter Stephen Sondheim...
