Your 2025 Musicals: GODDESS & THE SEAT OF OUR PANTS
Newman April 29 - June 1, 2025

New York Premiere

GODDESS

Conceived by Saheem Ali 
Music and Lyrics by Michael Thurber
Book by Jocelyn Bioh 
Choreography by Darrell Grand Moultrie 
Directed by Saheem Ali  

The critically acclaimed team behind the 2021 Free Shakespeare in the Park production of Merry Wives  returns to The Public with the New York premiere of a new musical conceived and directed by Associate Artistic Director/Resident Director Saheem Ali, featuring music and lyrics by Michael Thurber and a book by Tony Award nominee Jocelyn Bioh. A mysterious singer arrives at Moto Moto, a steamy Afro-jazz club in Mombasa, Kenya. She casts an entrancing spell on everyone, including a young man who has returned home from studying in America. Will the big plans for his life—stepping into a political legacy and marrying his fiancée—be upended? Inspired by the myth of Marimba, the Goddess who created beautiful songs from her heartbreak, this is a rousing tale of romance, the supernatural, and the quest towards one’s truest self.
