About the Show

Inspired by a 70-page slice of Tolstoy’s 'War and Peace,' this immersive, Off-Broadway hit transfers to the Main Stem.

Natasha is young, Anatole is hot, and Andrey isn't here. But what about Pierre? Natasha is a beautiful ingenue visiting Moscow while she waits for her fiancée Andrey to return from the war. In a moment of indiscretion, she is seduced by the dashing (but already married) Anatole and her life is ruined. Her only hope lies with Pierre, the lonely outsider whose love and compassion for Natasha may be the key to her redemption. Featuring a score that mixes rock, pop, soul, folk and electronic dance music with classic Broadway, 'The Great Comet' arrives on Broadway after its critically acclaimed 2013 Off-Broadway premiere. Its creative team has re-imagined the Imperial Theatre as an opulent Russian salon, where every seat provides a unique perspective.

Ambitious, Refreshing, Must see, Great staging, Great singing

See it if you enjoy an innovative musical. It pushes boundaries brilliantly. It should not be closing, it is a must-see for everyone who likes theater

Don't see it if you need a 4th wall. It is immersive and the action occurs all around.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy immersive theatre

Absorbing, Delightful, Great staging, Masterful, Must see

See it if you enjoy instruments & cast in the audience,are interested in seeing amazing staging in a beautifully done theater. are okay looking around

Don't see it if you want a traditional stage with cast members center stage only.

Clever, Ambitious, Entertaining, Dizzying, Raunchy

See it if you like loud musicals with lots of characters based upon a literary masterpiece.

Don't see it if you don't like very loud and frenetic.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Dizzying, Great staging, Riveting

See it if you are looking for an out-of-the-box theatre experience. There is nothing like this staging, this atmosphere, this music, and this cast.

Don't see it if you have bad reactions to strobe lights (or at least be prepared for that), unorthodox/really narrative and meta storytelling.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Great music, Fluffy

See it if you like Broadway musicals but want to see something different.

Don't see it if you're looking for plot-heavy musicals. The music and staging is great but the plot is a bit thin.
