​

The year is 1905. A young and uncertain Einstein dares to envision new worlds beyond the limits of classical physics. Drawn deeply into his dreams, he is guided by a mysterious woman – whose elusive identity awakens his full genius.

 

Based on the bestselling novel by Alan Lightman, this elegant new musical bridges worlds imagined and real, exploring the wonders of human imagination and the romance of knowledge.  Through a score rich in lyrical wit and soaring melodies, Einstein’s Dreams unlocks the passionate intellect of one of the 20th century's greatest thinkers.

“The musical’s parade of dream sequences is aided by Rosenblum and Lessner’s strings-heavy score, which particularly shines in smartly crafted harmonies and fugues that layer voices to lush effect” —

​

“Cara Reichel’s ultra-imaginative staging (aided immeasurably by David Bengali’s magnificent series of ever-changing projections) and the impressive score by Joanne Sydney Lesser and Joshua Rosenblum, shows off the pair’s consummate skill with everything from heartfelt ballads to quasi-patter songs" —
