New York, NY (November 10, 2026) — Today, producers Amanda Lipitz, Henry Tisch, and Jordan Roth released a first look at the new Broadway musical Galileo, ahead of its first Broadway performance tonight, Tuesday, November 10 at 8:00 PM at the Shubert Theatre (225 West 44th Street).

Inspired by the life of the groundbreaking astronomer and scientist, Galileo stars four-time Tony Award nominee Raúl Esparza, features a book by Danny Strong and an original score by Zoe Sarnak and Michael Weiner. Galileo is directed by Tony Award winner Michael Mayer and choreographed by Tony Award nominee David Neumann. The opening night is set for Sunday evening, December 6.
In addition to Mr. Esparza, Galileo stars Jeremy Kushnier, Tony and Grammy Award nominee Joy Woods, Bradley Dean, Jordon Lee Garcia, and Javier Muñoz. They are joined by Gabrielle Elisabeth, Adam Halpin, Nicole Kyoung-Mi Lambert, Rico Lebron, Michael J. Mainwaring, Terica Marie, Rob Marnell, Alexander Mendoza, Ramone Nelson, Matty Palmer, Chase Peacock, David Rowen, Madeleine Spacapan, Erica Sweany, with swings Nicci Claspell, Ninako Donville, Cameron Johnson, Michał Kołaczkowski, and Noah Plomgren.
Grammy Award® winner Michael Park (Dear Evan Hansen, “Stranger Things”) will alternate as ‘Galileo Galilei’ at certain performances.
The creative team for Galileo includes Tony Award nominee Brian Usifer (Music Supervision, Orchestrations, & Additional Arrangements), Tony Award winner Rachel Hauck (Scenic Design), Tony Award winner Susan Hilferty (Costume Design), four-time Tony Award winner Kevin Adams (Lighting Design), Tony Award winner John Shivers (Sound Design), Ethan Tobman (Video & Projection Design), and Satellite Wigs, Inc. (Hair & Wig Design). Casting is by Jim Carnahan, CSA and Jason Thinger, CSA. Aurora Productions is the Production Manager, and ShowTown Theatricals is the General Manager.
Galileo is the electrifying and explosive new Broadway musical about the man whose discoveries rocked our universe. When luminary Galileo (Esparza) peers into the heavens, what he sees challenges humanity’s understanding of the world. Unwilling to deny the truth, Galileo finds himself in a fight with the most powerful institution on Earth. As his trusted confidant Maffeo Barberini (Kushnier) ascends to power, friendship leads to betrayal, and the dreams Galileo has envisioned for himself and for his brilliant daughter Virginia Galilei (Woods) begin to slip away. Belief, ambition, and love pull the trio out of orbit, each confronting what they’re willing to sacrifice for what matters most.
