Dr Zhivago Tickets Sydney In 2011, Australia will host the world premiere of a new musical; Doctor Zhivago. Starring Anthony Warlow and produced by John Frost this powerful love story will be directed by Broadway's Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, Tommy), with music by Lucy Simon (The Secret Garden). In this explosive new musical romance based on Boris Pasternak's 20th Century Russian masterpiece, Doctor Yurii Zhivago is a man divided against himself: on the one hand a dedicated husband, father and healer; on the other a poet, dreamer and sensualist. Reflecting his struggle the musical swirls around him in a panoramic portrait of a nation in upheaval, and tells a story at once epic and personal, funny and heartbreaking, impetuously romantic and bitingly political. The action sweeps breathlessly from the final glory days of Czarist Russia through the chaos and upheaval of the Russian Revolution into an unprecedented tyranny under a heartless new political regime. Through all these volcanic upheavals, three passionate men the ardent young Doctor Zhivago, the fiery political radical Pasha Antipov, and the cunning bourgeois magistrate Viktor Komarovsky compete for the love of one woman, the alluring and enigmatic Lara... as if they are fighting for the soul of Russia itself. With its lush, unforgettable melodies, suspenseful story, and the internationally renowned Anthony Warlow in the title role, the Premiere of Doctor Zhivago introduces the world to a new musical in the grand tradition.
