Susan Stroman directs the new Tom Kitt and David Henry Hwang musical about Galileo Galilei — yes, that Galileo — at the Shubert Theatre starting fall 2026. Casting TBD. Kitt (Next to Normal) and Hwang (Soft Power, M. Butterfly) have been developing the piece for the last six years. The Shubert seats 1,468. Broadway Direct digital lottery will be live with previews. A new Stroman-Kitt-Hwang musical is the kind of Broadway pedigree that justifies the lottery grind.
