The National Symphony Orchestra proudly presents the world premiere of Grammy® award winning singer-songwriters Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear’s The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical Live in Concert inspired by the Netflix series.
Special guests include Tony Award® winner Kelli O’Hara, Tony Award® nominee Denée Benton, Solea Pfeiffer, Micaela Diamond, Jason Gotay, Darlesia Cearcy, Grammy Award® and Tony Award® nominee Ephraim Sykes, and more!
The duo became a viral sensation worldwide after developing the unofficial musical song by song in real time on TikTok—culminating in a full album that went on to win the 2021 Grammy for Best Musical Theater Album. In doing so, they also became the youngest winners in the category’s history and were the only two female nominees of 28 total nominees in the category that year. The songs from the album will be performed live for the first time with orchestra by Ms. Barlow, Ms. Bear, and some very special guests, accompanied by the National Symphony Orchestra.
Produced by AMP Worldwide
Executive Produced by Elizabeth Armstrong
Cast by Ally Kiley
