Power. Fame. Excess. Meet the emperor who changed history forever.
Andrew Barth Feldman will star as Nero in the highly anticipated new musical NERO, with book and lyrics by Tony Award® winner Steven Sater, music by Tony Award® winner Duncan Sheik, and directed by acclaimed director Lindsay Posner.
From the award-winning creators of ‘Spring Awakening’, NERO is a thrilling new musical that reimagines one of history’s most notorious figures for a modern age.
Long before his name became synonymous with tyranny, Nero was an artist, a performer, and a reluctant heir thrust into unimaginable power. As ambition collides with family, love, and political intrigue, a young ruler’s desperate search for identity spirals into madness, forging one of history’s most infamous legends. Blurring the line between celebrity and leadership, this story reveals why the fall of ancient Rome feels more urgent, and more relevant, than ever.
With Duncan Sheik’s soaring contemporary score, Steven Sater’s poetic storytelling, and visionary direction from Lindsay Posner, NERO transforms one of history’s greatest myths into an epic theatrical event.
Bold, cinematic, and emotionally charged, NERO is a spectacular new musical about ambition, the theatre of politics and the devastating cost of absolute power.
