WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Cort Theatre will be the home of The Green Bird, the new production by double Tony-Award winning director, Julie Taymor. The creator of The Lion King, will return to Broadway, this Spring with this critically-acclaimed and eye-popping satirical fable. The show is a wicked comedy of outrageous characters in which fantasy and the truest love meet in a place unlike any ever seen. The play is both the story of a king who longs for his lost wife and of brother and sister twins searching for their true identities. Come enjoy this banquet of Taymor's singular artistry, an intoxicating blend of visionary theatre that uses puppetry, masks, live performers, music and sheer imagination to tell its magical and moving tale.

The Green Bird is a quirky bit of fanciful nuttiness. If you come to it with the right expectations--or none at all--you might well find yourself both charmed and amused. If, because this is a Julie Taymor-directed show, you come expecting an airborne version of The Lion King, you're going to be sorely disappointed. The Green Bird, of course, predates The Lion King, having been previously produced by Theatre for a New Audience at The New Victory Theatre (a children's theater) in 1996. In that sense it's fascinating to see in this show some of the puppetry and masks that would later mature into elements used in the Taymor-directed Disney opus. But even on its own terms, which are far more mod[...]
