The Sound

A New Musical, Inspired by True Events
Conceived by Charlotte Cohn
Music & Lyrics by Christian Douglas

Book by Charlotte Cohn & Jason Odell Williams

May 2–17, 2026

In 1943, deportation orders of over 7,000 Danish Jews inspired their friends and neighbors to help them escape to Sweden across The Sound, sending ripples far beyond the waters that transported them to safety. Set in both past and present, this magical and heroic story of one family’s race against the clock to elude capture may restore your faith in humanity.
