Book, Music & Lyrics Copyright Kit Goldstein 2004


At the height of the tulip craze in Holland, an innocent tulip-grower becomes entangled in political intrigue - and romance.

This lush musical is appropriate for all ages, best for tweens - adults.

The Black Tulip is designed as a chamber musical. It can be performed with a relatively small cast of approximately 10, and a unit set.

"...a never-ending feast for the ears."
- Amanda Leung, Union College Concordiensis, Feb. 2005
