NIGHT SIDE SONGS is about the small human connections that make up the vast tapestry of our lives. Inspired by Susan Sontag’s insight that “illness is the night side of life,” this transformative new musical brings us together to explore how song heals us and empowers our spirits. With a stirring folk score by the acclaimed duo The Lazours (We Live in Cairo) and visionary direction by Taibi Magar (We Live in Cairo, Macbeth In Stride), NIGHT SIDE SONGS amplifies the voices of those who navigate the complexities of health—patients, caregivers, and medical professionals alike. What emerges is a moving portrait of how we show up for one another. How love can be the most powerful medicine. NIGHT SIDE SONGS reminds us of the strength we find in community, and the healing that happens when we truly listen.

Night Side Songs
7 / 10
The subject matter may be challenging, especially if it elicits memories of your own loved ones’ struggles, but the nature of Night Side Songs ensures that it isn’t lonely. In those aforementioned instances of collective singing—about loss, endurance, happiness and care—the show movingly enacts how sharing hard experiences can be a powerful tool for togetherness, learning and healing. For a few precious minutes, we’re on the same side.
Can a sing-along musical about cancer break your heart? ‘Night Side Songs’ never quite finds its pulse
3 / 10
Night Side Songs, the new musical by sibling writer duo the Lazours, wears its heart on its sleeve. And nubby sweater. And hospital gown. But for all its earnestness and yearning for connectivity, this song cycle about life, illness (what Susan Sontag called “the night side of life”), and death flatlines.
