The Band’s Visit


The Band’s Visit at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre
243 West 47th Street, NYC

Overview:  

The Band’s Visit is the winner of 10 Tony Awards, making it one of the most Tony-winning musicals in history. In this delightfully offbeat story, set in a town that’s way off the beaten path, a band of musicians arrive lost, out of the blue. Under the spell of the desert sky, and with beautiful music perfuming the air, the band brings the town to life in unexpected and tantalizing ways. Even the briefest visit can stay with you forever.

“One of the most ravishing musicals you will ever be seduced by…A Broadway rarity seldom found these days outside of the canon of Stephen Sondheim: an honest-to-God musical for grown-ups…Directed by David Cromer with an inspired inventiveness that never calls attention to itself, ‘The Band’s Visit’ flows with the grave and joyful insistence of life itself…Close to perfect musically…A miraculous show.” — Ben Brantley, The New York Times
