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.
