Every once in a while, you may feel that a part of your body has a mind of its own. That's literally true for Kovalyov, the minor bureaucrat at the center of Nikolai Gogol's 1836 short story, "The Nose," who discovers to his dismay that that feature of his face has taken off, donned a fancy uniform and is now pretending to be an official more powerful than he is. This musical adaptation by Kit Goldstein Grant features a Russian flavored score as it follows Kovalyov's efforts to save his face.
