The story of one of the most fascinating musical figures of the 20th century. Exiled from Germany in 1933 at the height of his popularity, Weill’s remarkable music was banned there for the next twelve years. James Benjamin Rodgers and Jillian Zack follow his remarkable journey from Berlin to New York as he adapted to survive as an artist and as a human being. Audiences will remember Rodgers for his performances at the Mac-Haydn as Curly in the 2019 production of Oklahoma!, Quasimodo in the 2018 production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Jean Valjean in the 2013 production of Les Miserables. Zack has worked as a music director at the theatre since 2017 and has won both the Lotte Lenya and the Joy in Singing competitions. As a pianist, Zack has performed recitals throughout the United States, the UK and New Zealand, in addition to her work as a music director and vocal coach. Most recently she performed as the onstage organist for To Kill A Mockingbird on Broadway.
