Get Galileo tickets when they go on sale on New York Theatre Guide to see this gorgeous and stellar new musical starring four-time Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza. Galileo the musical comes to New York after its acclaimed run at Berkeley Rep in California, where the San Francisco Chronicle wrote that "Esparza has so much vocal power that, in a beat of silence after he sings, an echo has its own beginning, middle and end."
The musical brings together a powerhouse team. Directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer and co-starring Tony nominee Joy Woods and Jeremy Kushnier, Galileo on Broadway examines the fraught period in which famed scientist Galileo Galilei argued that his celestial observations go against the church's teachings, ushering in a new way of seeing the world and its place in the universe.
Charged with a rock score and sweeping in its storytelling and sumptuous design, Galileo may be an ancient figure, but this musical is for today's audiences.
The musical is produced by Amanda Lipitz, Henry Tisch, and Jordan Roth. In a joint statement, they said, “The moment Galileo lifts his telescope to the sky and reshapes our understanding of the universe is one of history’s great turning points."
They also added, "Bringing that moment to the stage feels both thrilling and urgent. Though this story unfolds more than 400 years ago, its themes resonate with striking clarity today. We’re telling a story that captures the enduring tension between truth and power — and the courage required to stand by what you know is right, even when doing so comes at great cost. That kind of courage is the essential force on which human progress relies, and it is why Galileo — and those like him — are the ones who change the course of history.”
