Based on the novel Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, Sidd chronicles the spiritual journey of one man, from his youthful wanderings in his home village through his encounter with the Holy Buddha, his many years living among the glamour, jazz, and corruption of the City, and finally his enlightenment as a ferryman on a river.
This timely east-meets-west production at the newly renovated Cherry Lane Theatre features a culturally diverse cast of seven along with an elegant piano, cello and percussion trio. With a tuneful and soulful score drawing on various influences from Richard Rogers to reggae, Sidd will engage you,, entertain you, and ultimately uplift you.
