The Pianist

The world stage premiere of The Pianist.

Based on Wladyslaw Szpilman‘s extraordinary internationally bestselling memoir, this landmark new production, adapted and directed by the acclaimed Thom Southerland (Titanic the Musical), brings one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable true stories to the stage featuring Szpilman’s own music for the very first time.

Original compositions from the so-called ‘Polish Gershwin’ score his story: popular songs that had Warsaw humming, compositions that made him a star all given rich new life in orchestrations by Simon Lee, Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-time musical director. A cast of virtuoso actor-musicians conjures the golden age of Jewish Warsaw in all its warmth and wit: the packed concert halls, the candlelit cafés, the irrepressible spirit of a city that loved music above allelse.

At its heart, this is a love letter to culture, to the artists and dreamers who carried it, and to the extraordinarypower of creativity to outlast even the most turbulentchapters of history. Szpilman’s music doesn’t merelyaccompany this story; it breathes life into it, binding pastto present and reminding us that some things, once made, can never truly be silenced.

Profound. Life-affirming. Unmissable.
