Director Michael Mayer said, “It is a tremendous privilege to put together this extraordinary creative team in bringing Galileo to Broadway, some of whom are exciting new voices, and many of these artists are longtime collaborators whose ingenuity, theatricality, and emotional storytelling I have admired for years, and whose work continually challenges and inspires me. As we build a production that explores the collision of science, humanity, and discovery, reuniting with so many of these brilliant creatives feels especially meaningful.”
The producers said, “From the very beginning, our goal with Galileo has been to assemble a creative team that could match the scale, imagination, and emotional power of this story. We are excited to bring their vision to Broadway, blending science and art in a way that only Galileo himself could do.”

Galileo is a new musical about maverick scientist Galileo Galilei. When he makes astronomical discoveries that revolutionize humanity’s understanding of the universe, he must defend his findings before the most powerful religious institution in the world. Galileo had its world premiere at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, where it was developed prior to Broadway. Check out photos from the pre-Broadway run.
