This original retelling of the Faust legend features music and lyrics by Michael Mott with a book by Nathan Wright and Justin Silvestri.

Jeff Whiting (world premiere of Chasing Rainbows and National Tour of Bullets Over Broadway) will direct an industry reading of the new musical, In The Light, a Faustian Tale on April 5th in New York City.

TONY Award Nominee, Jeremy Jordan (Newsies, CW's "Supergirl") stars as Johann Faustus alongside Teal Wicks (The Cher Show, Wicked), Bobby Conte Thornton (A Bronx Tale), Sofia Deler (2018 Jimmy Award Winner), and Antonio Cipriano (Jagged Little Pill).
