The Band's Visit at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, Segestrom Hall

“Worlds collide, and hearts and minds open. It’s ravishing! Unlike any musical I’ve seen.” –Vogue

Winner of 10 Tony Awards®! Spend an evening in the company of unforgettable strangers at THE BAND’S VISIT —now one of the most celebrated musicals ever. It rejoices in the way music brings us to life, brings us to laughter, brings us to tears, and ultimately, brings us together. In an Israeli desert town where every day feels the same, something different is suddenly in the air. Dina, the local café owner, had long resigned her desires for romance to daydreaming about exotic films and music from her youth. When a band of Egyptian musicians shows up lost at her café, she and her fellow locals take them in for the night. Under the spell of the night sky, their lives intertwine in unexpected ways, and this once sleepy town begins to wake up.

THE BAND’S VISIT features music and lyrics by Tony®, Drama Desk and Grammy Award® winner David Yazbek, and a book by Tony®, NY Drama Critics Circle, Lortel and Outer Critics Circle Award winner Itamar Moses. It is based on the screenplay by Eran Kolirin, and is directed by Tony®, Drama Desk, Lortel and Obie Award winner David Cromer.
