Swept Away, the musical with music and lyrics by roots rock band The Avett Brothers, will arrive on Broadway this fall following previous stagings at California’s Berkeley Repertory Theatre and Washington’s Arena Stage.
Although the Broadway production will be at a Shubert theater, a venue and specific production dates are yet to be released.
The Broadway staging was announced by The Avett Brothers during a concert Friday at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens.
Swept Away features a book by Tony Award winner John Logan (Red, Moulin Rouge! The Musical), direction by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer (Spring Awakening, American Idiot) and choreography by Tony Award nominee David Neumann (Hadestown).
The synopsis: Set in 1888, Swept Away follows four survivors – a young man in search of adventure, his big brother who has sworn to protect him, a captain at the end of a long career at sea, and a worldly first mate who has fallen from grace – after a violent storm sinks their whaling ship off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts. How far will they go to stay alive? And can they live with the consequences?
Although Broadway casting has not officially been confirmed, the Avett Brothers on Friday welcomed to the concert stage the principal actors from the Berkeley Rep and Arena Stage productions – John Gallagher Jr., Stark Sands, Adrian Blake Enscoe and Wayne Duvall – introducing the actors as the “the cast of the soon-to-be-officially Broadway show.”
The Swept Away creative team includes music arranger & orchestrator Chris Miller, music arranger & orchestrator/music supervisor Brian Usifer, music director Will Van Dyke, set designer Rachel Hauck, costume designer Susan Hilferty, lighting designer Kevin Adams, and sound

Dennis Harvey Film Critic With science denialism and theocratic politics both on the rise, it’s an opportune moment to revisit the life of Galileo Galilei, whose discoveries about the cosmos four centuries ago were considered a threat to the authority of the Catholic Church. But there are probably better ways to broach the subject than “Galileo: A Rock Musical,” an odd mixture of earnestness, flash and snark made odder by a score that trades in bombastic power-ballad sounds reminiscent of Jefferson Starship, Styx and Jim Steinman.

Uma Thurman has been to Cannes more times than she can remember, either to pledge support for the glamorous annual charity event amfAR or with films as diverse as the genteel Merchant-Ivory period film The Golden Bowl (2000) and Quentin Tarantino’s ultraviolent Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), in which she reprised her badass role as The Bride.
