WALLENBERG, A New Musical

WALLENBERG, an epic musical drama with book and lyrics by the Kleban Award-winning team of Laurence Holzman and Felicia Needleman, and music by Benjamin Rosenbluth, brings to life the incredible and uplifting story of Raoul Wallenberg, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century. In July 1944, the 32-year-old Wallenberg, an ordinary businessman from Stockholm, left the safety of neutral Sweden and went into Nazi occupied Hungary. In a six-month stay there, he managed to save over 100,000 lives—more than were rescued by any other individual, organization, or government during the entire Holocaust. With an exhilarating, melodic score, this powerful new musical reinforces the belief that any one of us has the power to make a difference.
