Book, Music & Lyrics by Kirsten Childs
Directed by Tina Landau
With Kerry Butler, Cheryl Freeman, Jay Goede, Anika Larsen, Nicole Leach, Tyler Maynard, Darrell Moultrie, Clifton Oliver, Karen Olivo, Devin Richards, Gregory Treco, William Youmans

This eagerly anticipated work is a swashbuckling, funny and deeply moving musical, set in 17th Century Brazil. It’s the magical tale of two Brazilian brothers- one black and one white, one a slave and one free- bound by love, on a journey of freedom and self-determination. With an unforgettable cast of characters, MIRACLE BROTHERS is a powerful and exhilarating show, set to a captivating Samba-inspired score.
