The Golden Truffle

Dates: April 5 - June 18, 2006

Location: Redmoon Central

Redmoon Central is transformed into a lavish dessert lounge for the first musical in Redmoon’s history, The Golden Truffle. A musical spectacle extravaganza of colossal imagination, audiences will be treated to celebratory song, dazzling dance numbers, surreal service apparatus, frenetic live music, flashing paparazzi, and a four-course chocolate dessert by Chicago’s most luxurious chocolatier, Vosges Haut-Chocolat. Created by Jim Lasko, with original music and lyrics by John Fournier, The Golden Truffle is an original story of celebrity characters competing for the award of their life… The Golden Truffle.

“[THE GOLDEN TRUFFLE’S] sensory, classy atmosphere, Fournier’s smart ditties, the visual flourishes and, of course, the superbly presented chocolates, are more than enough for your money.” - Chicago Tribune

“Marked by grand ambition, grand scale and grand zaniness…” - Chicago Sun-Times

“[THE GOLDEN TRUFFLE] lets you have your chocolate and eat it too…Critic’s Choice!” - Chicago Reader
