From the Creators of Tony Award-Winning Ragtime: A Man of No Importance
Step into 1960s Dublin, where an amateur theater group and their passionate leader, bus conductor Alfie Byrne, bring Oscar Wilde’s Salome to life against all odds. A Man of No Importance weaves a heartfelt tale of courage, love, and the transformative power of theatre.
From the acclaimed creators of Ragtime, this evocative and award-winning musical delves into themes of identity, acceptance, and artistic defiance, echoing the bold spirit of Broadway itself. A story about friendship and redemption, it celebrates the enduring impact of theater for a man who proves he is anything but unimportant.
