Additional Details

Other Works:
She wrote the script for the original 1956 version of Leonard Bernstein's musical version of Voltaire's satirical classic, "Candide", but the show was unsuccessful at the time, and the blame was placed largely on Hellman's script, which was declared too serious and bitter. It had also introduced incidents not in Voltaire's original novel, and had eliminated many of the novel's comic incidents, so a new script (by Hugh Wheeler) was commissioned for the 1973 revival. The new version was much more faithful to Voltaire's book, and is the one in use today. more
