About

A young surfer’s life is cut short. A stranger suddenly has a second chance. And the life-force of one beating heart drives two families and a medical team through 24 hours that couldn’t matter more.

Playwright Kait Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby) and musical mavericks Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (of KPop Demon Hunters) join forces with Tony Award®-winning director Christopher Ashley (Roundabout’s new artistic director) and choreographer Mandy Moore (Taylor Swift’s Eras tour) to bring undeniable theatrical life to Maylis de Kerangal’s 2014 novel Réparer les vivants, in our first new Off-Broadway musical in years.
