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.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Night Side Songs
Night Side Songs Review
7 / 10
Patrick Lazour and Daniel Lazour, the brother songwriting team who call themselves The Lazours, have composed twelve songs for their show. Eight of them have a choral part for the audience; the cast members hand out a booklet with our parts, and Robin de Jesús serves as our choral director for the refrains, while one or more of the other cast members sing the verses, accompanied by Kris Saint-Louis on guitar and Alex Bechtel on piano. Most of the songs have generic lyrics. This doesn’t necessarily make them less powerful. It was terribly moving to sing, over and over again (after Yasmine learns of the results of a biopsy)
Going Gently Into That Good Night with ‘Night Side Songs’
8 / 10
Director Taibi Magar successfully creates a warm environment for this show that asks its audience to confront the coldest of human realities and to do it together. In a world that currently often feels so divided, Night Side Songs leans into the great, final commonality.
