Featuring a book by Danny Strong and an original score by Zoe Sarnak and Michael Weiner, Galileo is directed by Michael Mayer and choreographed by David Neumann.

Galileo follows the scientist as he makes a remarkable discovery. Unwilling to deny the truth, Galileo finds himself in a fight with the most powerful institution on Earth. As his trusted confidant Barberini ascends to power, friendship leads to betrayal and the dreams Galileo has envisioned for himself and for his brilliant daughter Virginia begin to slip away. Belief, ambition and love pull the trio out of orbit, each confronting what they’re willing to sacrifice for what matters most.
