Doctor Zhivago is a sweeping musical romance set during the final days of Czarist Russia, the First World War and the chaos of the Russian revolution. Raised as an aristocrat, Yurii Zhivago is a political idealist, physician, and poet whose life is tossed by the tides of history as he is torn between a life with his devoted wife, Tonia Gromeko, and the passionate and mysterious Lara Guishar. Doctor Zhivago celebrates the strength of love and art, in the face of political oppression and the horrors of war.​
