< back Monte Cristo the musical by Jon Smith and Leon Parris Monte Cristo is an adaptation of the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Jon Smith and Leon Parris have succeeded in adapting the 875-page epic into a jaw-dropping-fast-paced-roller-coaster-ride full of excitement and intrigue. Adapted into a two-hour show, this thought-provoking musical brings to life 19th Century France through the trials and tribulations of Edmond Dantes; a sailor wrongfully accused of a crime he didn't commit. Escaping solitary confinement, Dantes explores and redefines the art of revenge in its most tantalising and dangerous forms. Monte Cristo was part of a workshop performed by a company from YMT:UK in August 2005. The company performed a selection of tracks from the script at the Birmingham Hippodrome Patrick Centre to an audience of 300. Jon and Leon are now in negotiations with a commercial production company and hope that the show will be staged soon. To find out more: www.montecristothemusical.com
