NERO is the major new musical from the Tony Award-winning writing team Duncan Sheik & Steven Sater (Spring Awakening).

This new musical centres on the antics of debauched Roman emperor Nero, who reigned from 54 AD to 68 AD. Andrew Barth Feldman stars as the emperor who changed history.

The show draws on Roman historians Seutonius and Tacitus for the story of the extraordinary emperor whose life was filled with political intrigue, excess and defined by scandal of the most salacious nature.

With book and lyrics by Tony Award-winner Steven Sater and music by Tony Award-winner Duncan Sheik, NERO is directed by Lindsay Posner (Noises Off) and promises to be one of the winter’s hottest productions – the translation of one of history’s most infamous figures into an epic theatrical spectacle.
