Based on "Réparer les Vivants" by Maylis de Kerangal | Book and additional lyrics by Kait Kerrigan

Music and Lyrics by Anne Eisendrath & Ian Eisendrath | Directed by Christopher Ashley

When a young surfer’s life is cut short, it means a second chance for a woman who had been making peace with her terminal illness. Over the course of 24 suspenseful hours in San Diego, we follow one precious heart on its vital, life-saving journey from donor to recipient, and meet the people whose lives are impacted along the way. 

With a gripping book by Kait Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby), and directed by our own Christopher Ashley, The Heart is based on the highly lauded novel by Maylis de Kerangal, Réparer les Vivants. Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (music supervisor of Come From Away) have crafted a unique, surging, epic electronic score that takes inspiration from the world of the high-tech hospital.

This breathtaking new musical is an enlightening, edge-of-your-seat ride on a powerful wave of emotion.
