Pioneer Theatre Company will produce the professional North American Premiere of a new musical, “The Count of Monte Cristo,” by Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy in its 2015-2016 season.

“The Count of Monte Cristo,” the musical based on the 1844 novel by Alexandre Dumas, was workshopped in New York City in 2008, with a concept album released in December of that same year. That concept album went platinum. The piece received its world premiere on March 14, 2009, in the Theater St. Gallen, Switzerland. The show has been a hit through Europe, Japan and Korea (where its going into its fourth season).

Multi-Grammy and Tony Award nominated composer/producer Frank Wildhorn, whose works span the worlds of popular, theatrical and classical music, has composed the score.

Book and lyrics are by Murphy.
