- Book Synopsis
- After a mix-up at the border, Egypt's Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, bound for the cosmopolitan Israeli city Petah Tikvah, is stranded in a small desert town. With no transportation until the next day, the band is taken in by the locals. By morning, the lives of visitors and hosts are forever altered. The Band's Visit finds transcendence in the surprising and tender relationships that are forged between strangers under the desert sky. The Band's Visit is a musical with music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Itamar Moses, based on the 2007 Israeli film of the same name, written by Eran Kolirin. The musical premiered Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2016, and on Broadway at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2017. It won ten Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical.
