A legendary love. A transcendent artist. Shakespeare’s classic verse meets the driving, passionate rock of iconic singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley in the world premiere of The Last Goodbye. Conceived and adapted from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet by Michael Kimmel with the music and lyrics of Jeff Buckley arranged by Kris Kukul, an ensemble of fourteen singer/actors bring to life the lyrical beauty of two great poets set in a world of youthful angst, grandeur, and grit. Fall for Romeo and Juliet all over again in this incendiary new musical.
