Conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah and Tony Award–winning songwriter Shaina Taub, Twelfth Night is a rousing contemporary adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic tale of mistaken identity, love, and self-discovery. Named one of the best theatrical productions of 2018 by Time, The Hollywood Reporter, and The Washington Post, this bold new musical brings fresh energy to a much-loved story.

When Viola washes up on the shores of Illyria, she disguises herself as a man and is sent to court a countess on behalf of a Duke — only to find herself caught in a whirlwind of unrequited love, gender confusion, and unexpected connection. As identities blur and desires collide, Viola begins to discover who she truly is and what she really wants.

Featuring an original jazz-funk score with music and lyrics by Shaina Taub, Twelfth Night is a vibrant celebration of love, identity, and joy. Soulful melodies and R&B-inflected beats bring new energy to Shakespeare’s world, creating a musical that feels fresh, contemporary, and emotionally resonant — an uplifting night at the theatre that speaks as clearly to today’s audiences as it does to the original play.
