GALILEO starring Raúl Esparza

[Broadway Flash]

Posted: 5/6/24 at 7:31am

Berkeley Rep will present the dazzling world premiere musical, GALILEO (May/June 2024), helmed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (American Idiot, Swept Away, Spring Awakening), written by two-time Emmy winner Danny Strong (Dopesick, Empire, The Butler), and choreographed by David Neumann (Swept Away, Hadestown).

When maverick scientist Galileo Galilei makes celestial observations that challenge humanity's understanding of its place in the universe, he's summoned to Rome to defend his discoveries before the most powerful religious institution in the world, which is facing a rebellion of its own. With an original rock score and lyrics by Michael Weiner (Broadway's First Date) and Zoe Sarnak, Galileois an explosive collision of science and faith, truth and power.

Galileo will likely join the constellation of world premieres that traveled from Berkeley Rep to Broadway. Galileo is presented by special arrangement with Jordan Roth and Key to the City Productions. Performances of Galileo will take place at Berkeley Rep's Roda Theatre.

I was looking everywhere for it and couldn’t find it. The search sucks. DELETE THREAD

I went to the search function, typed in Galileo, set for subject only and the thread came up. Not sure what you’re doing differently.

The search doesn't suck...

For Raul's own sake I hope this is more like the Company revival and less like Leap of Faith (in fact, I can't believe he hasn't been on Broadway since Leap of Faith!). This man is one of the most talented we have and deserves good writing.

The vast majority of us on here have complained about the search. I hit the message board button when searching.

I rarely have a problem with the search function. Guess some of us are just more savvy than others.

If truth be told, this entire antiquated site needs a major reboot.  However, most of us have become accustomed to its creaking machinations.  Now, the name "Galileo" has worked very well so far in song, why not as a whole musical?
