Svengali (musical) Totally Explained

Everything about Svengali Musical totally explained

Svengali is a musical with a book and lyrics by Gregory Boyd and music by Frank Wildhorn. It is based on the 1894 novel Trilby by George du Maurier.
   The title character in this Gothic tale is a vocal coach who uses hypnotism to transform the tone-deaf Trilby into an acclaimed singer and steals her away from Little Billie, a sculptor for whom she's posed. At first the girl can remember nothing about her past, but as her memory slowly returns, she attempts to break free from her possessive mentor.
   The musical has been staged twice, both times with Chuck Wagner as Svengali and Linda Eder (Wildhorn's then future, now ex-wife) as Trilby. It premiered at the Alley Theatre in Houston, Texas in April 1991 and won the Alton Jones Foundation Award for New American Musicals. Later that year it was produced at the Asolo Theatre in Sarasota, Florida. Of it Wildhorn has said, "It was great working on it and I hope it'll have its day."
   Although a complete cast album hasn't been released, three of the show's songs have been recorded. Danny de Munk and Vera Mann dueted on "So Slowly" for his CD Danny, and Eder included "If He Never Said Hello" and "Vole Mon Ange" on her 2003 release Storybook.
