The Lehman Trilogy

“A dazzling piece of storytelling”–Time Out
“A must-see event. Epic in every conceivable way. You dare not miss it.” —New York Post
“Five stars. The performances are note-perfect.”—The Times (UK)

Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, this grand theatrical event charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes and devastating failure of the Lehman financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees.

On a cold September morning in 1844, a young man from Bavaria stands on a New York dockside dreaming of a new life. He is soon joined by his two brothers and an American journey begins with a small store in Alabama. 163 years later, the firm they establish—Lehman Brothers—spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, triggering the largest financial crisis in history. Told in three parts over one evening, “The Lehman Trilogy” is a modern theatrical classic.

Having celebrated highly lauded runs on Broadway and in London’s West End, and hailed by The New York Times as “a genuinely epic production,” “The Lehman Trilogy” is the tale of one family’s passionate pursuit of the American Dream and the piercing cost of greed, excess and unbridled power.

Run time: roughly 3 hours and 15 minutes (includes two intermissions—15 minutes and 10 minutes).

Please note there are trigger warnings for this production: Gun shots (recorded). There are NO guns in the show; mentions about suicide; bright moving lights; loud noises (Civil War cannons, battle sounds, fire).
