CO-PRODUCED WITH COURT THEATRE

One of America's most beloved musical masterpieces will soar to new heights at Long Wharf Theatre, led by the award-winning team of Court Theatre Artistic Director Charles Newell and Music Director Doug Peck, the duo who brought last season's successful re-imagining of Man of La Mancha.

Set in a small New England town in the late 1800s, the story of impulsive, brash carnival barker Billy Bigelow and his bride, mill worker Julie Jordan, spans heaven and earth in its exploration of love, human frailty, and redemption.
