About the Show
+

Set to an electrifying Europop score, The Singing Revolution is a love story inspired by the incredible events of the Estonian Revolution - where a nation sang its way to independence from Soviet rule.  Tony Spinosa and James Bearhart’s soaring musical, directed by Jonathan O’Boyle, reminds us all that our voices united in harmony have the power to shape our future and change the world.

After over a decade of occupation, Estonia has become resigned to its fate. But everything changes when a young local, Taavi, finds himself drawn to Sofia, the daughter of a Soviet commander. As time passes and sides are picked, Taavi inspires his fellow countrymen to rise up and demand freedom through the unifying power of song. But as revolt threatens to tear the lovers apart, can Taavi and Sofia's love survive?

A Note From Tony:

It is hard to believe that before my first visit to Tallinn, Estonia in 2014 I had known very little about this country and their culture. Since then, I have developed a deep appreciation for the people of Estonia as I learned about their passion, integrity, and perseverance. To see this small Baltic country achieve their re-independence from the Soviet Union through the power of peaceful protest is a beautiful example to the world that violence is not always the answer. The Estonians have proven to the world that we can achieve great things if we remain true to our beliefs and act out of kindness. The Estonians' love of music and singing is a cultural pastime, and to learn about how they used this as 'shield' against the Soviet attacks still inspires me to this day. I am honored to share their history through Singing Revolution: The Musical.
