About:
An exciting feminist reimagining of a woman long reduced to myth. New
musical Cleo reclaims the story of Cleopatra VII, following her rise
from teenage Queen to one of history’s most formidable political
leaders. Forced to rule beside her brother and later driven into exile,
Cleopatra refuses erasure, and returns to Egypt to reclaim her throne
through intelligence, strategy, and determination. Cleo is not a story
of seduction, but of power. Navigating alliances with Julius Caesar and
Mark Antony, Cleopatra restores her place in history by balancing love,
ambition, and survival to fight for her children and her kingdom.
