The Three Musketeers, Orlando

The clash of swords, the boom from a cannon, the clinking of silverware. A good theatrical production's got intrigue, action, and a three-course meal—and The Three Musketeers: Voyage Home serves up all three.

Onstage, the swashbuckling adventures of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis dazzle theatergoers, as actors leap across the stage in daring stunts and twist high above the audience in aerial acts. Characters fall in love, engage in vigorous duels, then fall in love again, all while modern-style music sets an captivating soundtrack.

As the action unfolds onstage, the audience breaks bread over a French-inspired three-course meal. Succulent roast chicken or grilled salmon accompanies seasonal vegetables, but all this is a precursor to a dessert designed for le roi: apple cobbler fitted with a crown of vanilla ice cream.
