Madame Curie is a new musical, by David Kurkowski and directed by Cate Cammarata, starring a professional cast led by Kerry Conte. Madame Curie brings to life the indelible and revolutionary spirit of the first female Nobel winning scientist. It features a compelling narrative, beautiful music, and eleven fine actors. Fully orchestrated in the Rodgers and Hammerstein tradition, Madame Curie will instill a love of science, and especially inspire young girls and women to the passionate exploration of Science and Nature. As Maria Sklodowska was becoming Marie Curie, she emigrated 1000 miles from Poland to France, overcame xenophobia and sexism, and pioneered our understanding of radioactivity. In the process, she earned Nobel prizes in physics and chemistry and treated — directly and indirectly — over a million WWI soldiers with her mobile X-ray units.

"All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child." -M. Curie
