Unbreakable: A Musical About Queer History
A musical about queer history
The east coast premiere of the epic choral work about the untold stories of our community. The 2021-2022 season closes with a musical by composer Andrew Lippa (Broadway’s The Wild Party, The Addams Family, Big Fish) Unbreakable – a musical chronology of LGBTQ+ lives in America through the 20th century. Joining us will be celebrated vocalist Nova Y. Payton, who won a Helen Hayes Award in 2012 for her portrayal of Motormouth Mabel in Hairspray at Signature Theatre, and soprano Amy Broadbent from the United States Navy Band Sea Chanters Chorus. This stunning choral work will include soloists and the full Chorus accompanied by an orchestra. Using different music genres and told in multiple scenes, Unbreakable presents stories from American LGBTQ+ history including; Harvard’s “Secret Court” of 1920, the life of transgender activist Sylvia Rivera, The Lavender Scare, civil rights activist Bayard Rustin, the AIDS crisis, and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Jane Addams, among others.
The concert will be ASL interpreted at the 3PM performance.
