A young man’s future is set—until a voice unlike any other changes everything. In the heart of Mombasa, Club Moto Moto pulses with rhythm, romance, and fate. Don’t miss GODDESS, a new musical unlike any other!
The critically acclaimed team behind the 2021 Free Shakespeare in the Park production of Merry Wives returns to The Public with the New York premiere of a new musical conceived and directed by Associate Artistic Director/Resident Director Saheem Ali, featuring music and lyrics by Michael Thurber, book by Tony Award nominee Jocelyn Bioh, and choreography by Darrell Grand Moultrie.

A mysterious singer arrives at Moto Moto, a steamy Afro-jazz club in Mombasa, Kenya. She casts an entrancing spell on everyone, including a young man who has returned home from studying in America. Will the big plans for his life—stepping into a political legacy and marrying his fiancée—be upended? Inspired by the myth of Marimba, the Goddess who created beautiful songs from her heartbreak, this is a rousing tale of romance, the supernatural, and the quest towards one’s truest self.
