ABOUT THE SHOW
WORLD PREMIERE!
Three Broadway icons unite for the first time to create the stunning new musical "UNORTHODOX":
Composer Benj Pasek (EGOT winner, "Dear Evan Hansen," "La La Land," "Only Murders in the Building"); composer Shaina Taub (Two-time Tony winner for "Suffs"); and playwright Joshua Harmon (Tony-nominated for "Prayer for the French Republic").
Deep in the heart of Brooklyn, Devoiri, just seventeen, enters an arranged marriage in the Hasidic Satmar community.
Sixty years earlier, her grandmother Fraida arrives in America at roughly the same age, alone, to begin a new life.
In parallel journeys, one woman decides to join this devout world, while another awakens to the realization that she wants to try and leave.
Based on the best-selling memoir, "UNORTHODOX" is an intimate and emotionally resonant new musical about the impossible choices we face trying to do what is right for our children - and ourselves.
