Galileo spent his life proving Earth wasn’t center stage. Now his story is heading to Broadway

ملخص مفصل

His ideas about the solar system were once so controversial, the church condemned them. Now, a musical brings Galileo Galilei’s tumultuous life to a broad audience.

Galileo Galilei is among the most recognizable rebels of the late Renaissance. Now, a new Broadway musical puts a rock-and-roll spin on the radical life of the “Father of Modern Science,” whose ideas clashed with the powerful Roman Catholic Church and helped propel the Scientific Revolution. “Galileo,” starring Raúl Esparza and Joy Woods, follows the famed astronomer as his research on the heliocentric model challenged prevailing Aristotelian wisdom that the Earth sat at the center of the cosmos. The show is set to begin preview performances November 10 at New York City’s Shubert Theatre before opening December 6.
