Based on the novel Madame Sousatzka by Bernice Rubens, Sousatzka, set in London, England in 1982, tells the story of a young musical prodigy torn between two powerful women from vastly different worlds: his mother, a political refugee and his piano teacher, a brilliant eccentric with a shattered past.

Sousatzka's creative and design dream team includes Tony Award winner Anthony Ward (scenic design), Tony Award winner Paul Tazwell (costume design), two-time Tony Award winner Howell Binkley (lighting design), Jonathan Driscoll (projection design), Grammy Award winner Martin Levan (sound design), and Tony Award winner Jonathan Tunick (orchestrations). Choreography will be by Tony Award nominee Graciela Daniele.
