Anna Karenina Lives! is a musical comedy romp through time and space that sees vaudeville star Mae West team up with Sophia Tolstoy, widow to the famous novelist, to try to save Anna Karenina from being crushed by the stifling patriarchal forces of Tzarist Russia.
Free love and vaudeville are their weapons of choice as Sophia tries to make up for past regrets, and Mae West tries to make sure the 20th century follows her example.
This new play features some of the greatest hits of 1919 re-purposed for a musical comedy that defies the white, male monopoly on the Western canon.
