Galileo

SHUBERT THEATRE · PREVIEWS FROM NOVEMBER 10, 2026

THE STORY

A new rock musical about the original truth-teller: Galileo Galilei looks through his telescope, proves the Earth moves around the sun, and collides with the most powerful institution on Earth — the Church that will put him on trial to silence him. It is written by Emmy winner Danny Strong, with a score by Zoe Sarnak and Michael Weiner, directed by Tony winner Michael Mayer.

WHAT’S ON

The headline is the return: four-time Tony nominee Raúl Esparza plays Galileo — his first Broadway role in more than 13 years — opposite Jeremy Kushnier as Barberini, the friend who ascends to the papacy, and Tony nominee Joy Woods as his daughter Virginia. Previews begin November 10; opening night is December 6. Running time 2 hours 40 minutes including intermission.
