"Roxane" is a romantic action-comedy date musical about Roxane's refusal to be merely decorative when it comes to living her life, and this while questing for True Love and her Hero of True Romance.
The musical language is a blend of Jazz and Renaissance musical styles that parallels the mash-up of todays slang with the preciosity (refined speech) of some 16th century Parisians.
