About This Show

Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater, the Tony Award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, return to the Powerhouse with The Nightingale, a compelling contemporary musical rendering of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic tale of a young emperor who finds his heart in the song of a small grey bird – and in the soul of a common servant girl – far beyond the walls of the Forbidden City. Tony nominee Moisés Kaufman directs.
