Twelfth Night - The Musical

By Shaina Taub and Kwame Kwei-Armah

Directed by Sam D. White

Named one of the best theatrical productions of 2018 by Time, The Hollywood Reporter and The Washington Post, Twelfth Night is a rousing contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy about mistaken identity and self-discovery.
Featuring an original jazz-funk score by Shaina Taub, Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, she is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.
