Meet the man whose groundbreaking discoveries rocked our universe.
Raúl Esparza returns to Broadway as the titular astronomer in Galileo, the new rock musical beginning previews tomorrow (November 10) at the Shubert Theatre. Joining him in the principal cast are Jeremy Kushnier, Joy Woods, Bradley Dean, Jordon Lee Garcia, and Javier Muñoz. Galileo features an original score by Zoe Sarnak and Michael Weiner, with a book by Danny Strong, choreography by David Neumann, and direction by Michael Mayer. Opening night is December 6.
“When luminary Galileo peers into the heavens, what he sees challenges humanity’s understanding of the world. Unwilling to deny the truth, Galileo finds himself on a collision course with the most powerful institution on Earth. As his trusted confidant and friend Barberini ascends to power, a religious war rages across Europe, leaving Galileo to fight for his new theories and the future he envisions for his brilliant daughter Virginia. Belief, ambition, and love pull the trio out of orbit, each confronting what they’re willing to sacrifice for what matters most.”
Who’s going?
