In this explosive new musical romance based on Boris Pasternak’s 20th Century Russian masterpiece, Doctor Yurii Zhivago is a man divided against himself: on the one hand a dedicated husband, father and healer; on the other a poet, dreamer and sensualist.
Reflecting his struggle the musical swirls around him in a panoramic portrait of a nation in upheaval, and tells a story at once epic and personal, funny and heartbreaking, impetuously romantic and bitingly political.
The action sweeps breathlessly from the final glory days of Czarist Russia through the chaos and upheaval of the Russian Revolution into an unprecedented tyranny under a heartless new political regime.
This powerful and moving love story will be directed by Broadway’s Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys, Big River) with music by Lucy Simon, lyrics by Michael Korie and Amy Powers and book by Michael Weller.
With its lush, unforgettable melodies, suspenseful story, and the internationally renowned Anthony Warlow in the title role, DOCTOR ZHIVAGO introduces the world to a new musical in the grand tradition.
DOCTOR ZHIVAGO has Audio-described services available.
