Camille Claudel is a musical with a book and lyrics by Nan Knighton and music by Frank Wildhorn. It is based on the life of the real-life French sculptor and graphic artist of the same name.
The plot focuses on Claudel's career and her tempestuous relationship with Auguste Rodin, for whom she was a source of inspiration, a model, a confidante, and a lover.
The world premiere, with Linda Eder in the title role, Michael Nouri as Rodin, and Milo O'Shea as Camille's father, was staged by Goodspeed Musicals in 2003. It was directed by Gabriel Barre and choreographed by Mark Dendy. The following year it was presented in the form of a 45-minute reading at The National Alliance for Musical Theatre's 16th Annual Festival of New Musicals.
