Beautiful and Damned is an evocative and glittering musical set in the 1920's, telling the tragic story of Zelda Sayre and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The glamorous and fashionable couple, successful young author and stylish young wife, with their high spending, high living lifestyle, became the envy of the world.

She's over the top; and he's under the table; Putting on a crazy show; Welcome to the party; It's a champagne rodeo.

Scott christened the period The Jazz Age, and Zelda was its high priestess. However, behind the dazzling and elegant facade, a darker story awaits to be told...

Beautiful and Damned has music and lyrics by Roger Cook and Les Reed and book by Kit Hesketh Harvey.
