It’s 1939 and the Free World is fighting for its life. Heading the charge is Leo Szilard, a brilliant scientist torn between the woman he loves and his need to beat Germany to the bomb. As the war draws to a climax, ethics, scientific progress, and love are tested as Leo discovers exactly what he’s capable of. The show rips the scab off one of the most difficult questions in our national history. The creation of the bomb was one of the most consequential events in world history, one of the greatest collaboration of human minds ever, and the most lethal weapon ever devised by mankind. It ended World War II when dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, killing and maiming hundreds of thousands of people. Should we have used it? Should we have built it?
The greatest moral dilemma humans have ever faced — now as a powerful, new rock musical in its first production since its off Broadway run.
ew Line continues its 25h season with the exhilarating and provocative new musical ATOMIC, based on the true story of the creation of the atomic bomb. With book and lyrics by Danny Ginges and Gregory Bonsignore, and music and lyrics by Philip Foxman, this powerful rock musical blasts open the doors of The Manhattan Project, a government-funded program of top scientists with the task of creating the world's first Atomic Bomb.
Ages: Teens and older.
