MIDAS & MARIGOLD, A Timeless Musical Fable, is a delightful family operetta. A lonely King wishes for more gold; his teenage daughter Marigold cares for her rose garden, but wishes instead for her father’s love. The Chamberlain tries to bring them together, but when the Ghost of the Queen casts a magical spell granting Midas the “golden touch,” they must all finally learn the meaning of love.
