Historic Photo Gallery: 1983 to 2015
2003
The 2003-04 season opened with an American premiere of
La Vie en Bleu,
a French musical about the life of Pablo Picasso. The Walnut's production was
greatly revised from the original and included a new book for American audiences.
The production was staged by Bruce Lumpkin, who has directed over a dozen
productions at the Walnut. It starred popular Philadelphia actor Jeffrey Coon
(left) as Picasso and Jessica Boevers as his lover, Eva Humbert. Coon has
performed in over a dozen Walnut productions, and Boevers' Broadway career
includes stints as Ado Annie in the 2002 revival of
Oklahoma! and
Eponine in
Les Miserables.
