A thrilling musical where two cousins create a superhero to battle fascism through comics.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay brings Michael Chabon’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel to life in an electrifying new musical adaptation. Set on the eve of World War II, the story follows two Jewish cousins who craft an anti-fascist superhero and launch a groundbreaking comic-book series, using art to rally America against the rise of Nazism.
With a dynamic score by Mason Bates blending electronic sounds and diverse musical styles, Gene Scheer’s libretto traverses three vivid worlds: Nazi-occupied Prague, the vibrant streets of New York City, and the fantastical universe of comic-book heroes. Directed by Bartlett Sher, this production delivers stunning visuals with towering sets and sweeping projections, capturing the story’s imagination, heart, and fight for justice.
