Annie Pasqua - Tess The New Musical

Tess had its beginnings in the summer of 1996. Annie Pasqua, then preparing for her junior year at NYU, decided to heighten her knowledge of literature by reading some classics before returning for the fall semester. Annie’s mother, Susan recommended a book she had read in high school - Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Upon opening the worn copy of the book with her mother’s name and 10th grade homeroom written on the inside cover, Annie felt an instant connection to the novel.
Annie found herself completely drawn into the story of how an average girl could have her life unraveled by a string of seemingly harmless decisions and found herself saying those magic words
"This would make a great musical"
