It’s an exciting day in the Count’s court. Today is the day Figaro and Susanna, two respected and beloved servants, are getting married. There’s just one (ok, more than one) hitch before they can get hitched:

* The count is trying to seduce the young and lovely Susanna
* The countess is trying to win back the count
* The old, not-so-lovely, Marcellina is trying to force Figaro to marry her
* And a hopelessly horny page named Cherubino is causing trouble 

The result is a marathon of disguises, cross-dressing, and secrets both new and old which pave the paths of seduction, love, and (hopefully) marriage.
