Candide (2018): cast, story & where to watch
2018 · Film
Released in 2018, Candide is a notable film directed by Christopher Luscombe.
What it’s about. When young Candide's marriage offer to a baron's daughter backfires, the naïve student of optimism is hurled into an eye-opening journey around the globe, discovering the horrors of existence at every step. Turning Voltaire’s Candide, a stinging blast against tyranny and feigned moralising, into toe-wiggling musical theatre is a crazy idea. Bernstein revised his operetta countless times before settling on the final version. The Grange Festival’s 2018 semi-staged production commemorates the composer’s 100th birthday.
Who’s in it. Candide stars Richard Suart as Narrator/Pangloss/Martin, Rob Houchen as Candide, Katie Hall as Cunegonde and Charles Rice as Maximilian, among others.
