The Band's Visit at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

Spend a lovely evening watching The Band's Visit this holiday season. David Yazbek has beautifully created music and lyrics to go with the stage musical based on a book by Itamar Moses and a 2007 Israeli film of the same name.

Every song in the musical will bring you into the life of Dina, a local cafe owner in the town. Dina has long forgone her desires for romance to daydreaming about exotic films and music from her youth as the town has been nothing but quiet. Every day seems like the same day.

Something different finally happened – a band of Egyptian musicians shows up lost at Dina's café. Out of goodwill, she and her fellow locals take them in for the night. That night changed everyone's lives and woke up the usually sleepy town.

The Band's Visit has received critical acclaim since its debut in 2016. Its off-Broadway production won several major awards, including the 2017 Obie Award for Musical Theatre and the year's New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Musical. Where else, at the 72nd Tony Awards, it was nominated for 11 awards and won 10. Their wins included Best Musical and many others.

Thus, this is the musical that you should not miss! Book your tickets now!
