The Pianist

The brilliant melodies of The Pianist himself, Władysław Szpilman, underscore and uplift this new musical adaptation of the acclaimed memoir, boldly adapted for the stage and directed by Thom Southerland (Titanic the Musical), with music arranged by Simon Lee (Andrew Lloyd Webber’s long-time music director).Performed by an ensemble of 11 actor-musicians portraying over 50 characters and playing a symphonic array of instruments, Szpilman’s music is brought to the stage for the first time outside of Poland, transporting audiences from the vibrant streets of pre-war Warsaw to the harrowing trials during the war, sweeping us up in a riveting theatrical journey of courage, family and the enduring strength of music.
