Perfume River:
A Swamp Water Love Story

Music & Lyrics:
David Maddox & Jon Carroll

Book: David Maddox, Mary Hall Surface & Jon Carroll

A New Orleans Bayou musical about the
qualities of swamp water.
Marie loves Jon the piano player. Does he love her? At the Crawdaddy near New Orleans, the late-night crowd finds the rhythm and blues of a night transformed by an aphrodisiac nonpareil -- the swamp water out back!

Love conjures all...
