Dealing with a family's struggle to stay out of the Civil War, Shenandoah is a piece of inspirational musical theatre whose time has come once again. This season's Chase Broadway Series concludes with The Human Race Theatre Company's brand-new production of this classic musical, May 6 - 18, at the Victoria Theatre.
This musical overflows with memories and emotions, strong characters and history-making events, gorgeous songs and exhilarating moments. Based on the 1965 film, Shenandoah debuted on Broadway in 1975 and garnered six Tony Award nominations. It explores the tumultuous time when family loyalties were tested and patriotism was redefined.
