Bound and blindfolded in a war-torn country, two hostages take refuge in music, memory and each other in this new indie-rock musical.
"In this season of unlikely musicals, on Broadway and off, ‘Hostage Song' may be the oddest of all...fantasy is transformed into an emotionally sustained reality" Charles Isherwood, The New York Times
