“Over the last decade since I arrived at A.R.T., we’ve staged more than thirty musicals and music-theater pieces. The musical is one of the great American art forms. As total theater experiences that combine song, story, spectacle, and dance, musicals have the power to engage our hearts and minds; and when musicals grapple with the urgent questions of our day, they can move us like nothing else. The musicals we’ve developed and premiered, the collaborations we’ve formed with writers and composers who created work for the theater for the very first time, and the conversations we’ve had with audiences and scholars around our productions have been central to our mission at the A.R.T. to expand the boundaries of theater.” – Terrie and Bradley Bloom Artistic Director Diane Paulus
