The Band’s Visit will make its European premiere at London’s Donmar Warehouse in September.

Announced this week as part of the venue’s 2022 season, The Band’s Visit will run from 24 September to 3 December 2022.

Adapted from the Israeli film of the same name, The Band’s Visit has music and lyrics by David Yazbek and a book by Itamar Moses. The piece previously ran on Broadway in 2017 where it picked up ten Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Book and Best Score.

Michael Longhurst will direct the new production at Donmar Warehouse with associate director: Orr Benezra-Segal and cultural Consultant: Dr Lina Khatib.

Full creative team and casting are to be announced.

“Once, not long ago, a group of musicians came to Israel from Egypt. You probably didn’t hear about it. It wasn’t very important.”

In a quiet desert town way off the beaten path, a band of musicians arrive lost. As they wait for the next bus out, these unexpected visitors bring the town to life in surprising ways, proving that even the briefest visit can stay with you forever.

Winner of 10 Tony Awards and a Grammy for best Musical Theatre Album, The Band’s Visit rejoices in the way music makes us laugh, makes us cry, and ultimately, brings us together.
