About
NERO is a new musical that reimagines one of history's most notorious figures, the Roman emperor, for a modern age. It is presented by Park Myung-Sung and Seensee Company, with book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Steven Sater, music by Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik, and direction by Lindsay Posner, with Andrew Barth Feldman starring as Nero. Before his name became synonymous with tyranny, Nero was an artist, performer and reluctant heir thrust into power, and as ambition collides with family, love and political intrigue, a young ruler's search for identity spirals into madness. Blurring the line between celebrity and leadership, the show explores ambition, the theatre of politics and the devastating cost of absolute power.
