This electrifying world-premiere musical helmed by Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer (HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH, SPRING AWAKENING), with music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson Award-winner Peter Lerman, and choreography by Steven Hoggett (ONCE, AMERICAN IDIOT) will be a must-see theatrical event. In BROOKLYNITE, Trey Swieskowski is an idealistic hardware store clerk who dreams of becoming a superhero. Astrolass, Brooklyn's most celebrated superhero, is determined to throw in the cape and live like a normal Brooklynite. When they meet they hatch a plan that will change their lives forever. But can they save Brooklyn when it suddenly teeters on the brink of disaster? BROOKLYNITE is inspired by the real Brooklyn Superhero Supply Company located in Park Slope, with characters created by Michael Chabon (The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay) and Ayelet Waldman (Love and Other Impossible Pursuits).
