The announcement was made today by producers Matthew Masten, Sean Hudock, and Madison Wells Live.

Throughout the musical’s development, the cast has included Broadway favorites John Gallagher Jr. and Stark Sands, both of whom were introduced onstage (along with cast mates Adrian Blake Enscoe and Wayne Duvall) at a recent Avett Brothers concert. The quartet was introduced as “the cast of the soon-to-be-officially Broadway show.”
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?”
