Robert and Elizabeth

Recently Updated

"Robert and Elizabeth" is a musical based on the true story of Robert Browning, a famous Victorian poet, and Elizabeth Barrett, an invalid poet who was confined to her room. The story is set in 19th century England and tells of the passionate love affair that develops between Robert and Elizabeth, despite the disapproval of Elizabeth's father.

As the story unfolds, we see Elizabeth's struggles to escape her oppressive life and pursue her dreams of being a writer, while Robert faces criticism for his poetry and must fight for the respect of his peers. Despite these challenges, the two find solace in each other and their love grows stronger.

The musical is known for its beautiful score, which features songs such as "How Do I Love Thee?", "I'll Follow My Secret Heart", and "I've Got a Home in That Rock". It premiered in London's West End in 1964 and has since been revived numerous times in both the UK and the US.
