Leonardo the Musical: A Portrait of Love

About the show

Leonardo the Musical: A Portrait of Love is a musical with music and lyrics by Russell Dunlop, Duke Minks, Greg Moeller and Tommy Moeller and a book by John Kane. The musical enjoyed critical acclaim while at Oxford and looked set to be a hit when it transferred to the West End, but the 1993 London production, under new management, is considered one of the biggest disasters in the history of London theatre. The management changed the original music and scripts after the Oxford shows, resulting in its failure. At least one of the leading actors had to have singing lessons, and it was said the director did not like musicals.
