Singer-songwriter Pat Benatar and producer-musician Neil Giraldo have announced that the world premiere presentation of “Invincible – The Musical” will take place from November 22 to December 17 at The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith Theater.
The musical show weaves the couple’s legendary catalogue and inspired new songs throughout a reimagining of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet.”
“Invincible – The Musical” is set in the modern, war-torn metropolis of Verona, where the newly elected Chancellor Paris vows to destroy the progressive resistance and return the city to its traditional roots. The star-crossed lovers’ story, exploring how love and equality battle for survival in times of great transformation, envisions peace in a divided world.
“Invincible – The Musical” is directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene, with music direction and arrangements by Jesse Vargas, and orchestrations and arrangements by Giraldo. The musical is presented by Special Arrangement with Jamie Cesa, Cody Lassen & Bel Chiasso Entertainment.
“We’ve loved spending the last five years writing and collaborating with an amazing team and are thrilled to finally bring it to the stage. The Wallis’ Bram Goldsmith Theater is the perfect place to premiere it. It’s been a joyous journey, and one we look forward to having you join us on,” Pat and Neil told Variety.
Currently, Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo are on their North American headlining tour.
Meanwhile, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is set to induct both of them on November 5.
