Ben's Back! Tickets Available Now for Return of Benjamin Scheuer's The Lion Off-Broadway

Tickets are now on sale for the previously announced off-Broadway return of The Lion. The autobiographical musical by Benjamin Scheuer will begin performances on February 3 at the Lynn Redgrave Theater, where it will run through March 29. Opening night is set for February 8. The show, directed by Sean Daniels, played The Studio at Stage II at New York City Center in summer 2014.

The Lion is a true story of love, loss, family loyalty and the redemptive power of music. The show has been previously performed in various incarnations at Lincoln Center, the St. James Theatre in London and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Last year, Scheuer was awarded the ASCAP Foundation Cole Porter Award for songwriting and the Musical Theatre Network Award for Best Lyrics. He has served as a writer-in-residence at the Goodspeed Theater, the Weston Playhouse and the Johnny Mercer Songwriting Workshop. His band Escapist Papers’ second album, titled The Bridge, features music from The Lion.
