This bright, biting comedy arrives on Broadway nearly a decade after its off-Broadway premiere.

Galileo is the electrifying and explosive musical about the man whose discoveries rocked our universe. When luminary Galileo peers into the heavens, what he sees challenges humanity’s understanding of the world. Unwilling to deny the truth, Galileo finds himself on a collision course with the most powerful institution on Earth. As his trusted confidant and friend Barberini ascends to power, a religious war rages across Europe, leaving Galileo to fight for his new theories and the future he envisions for his brilliant daughter, Virginia. Belief, ambition and love pull the trio out of orbit, each confronting what they’re willing to sacrifice for what matters most.
