"Once, not long ago, a group of musicians came to Israel from Egypt. You probably didn't hear about it. It wasn't very important." In a quiet desert town way off the beaten path, a band of musicians arrive lost. As they wait for the next bus out, these unexpected visitors bring the town to life in surprising ways, proving that even the briefest visit can stay with you forever. Winner of 10 Tony Awards and a Grammy for best Musical Theatre Album, The Band's Visit rejoices in the way music makes us laugh, makes us cry, and ultimately, brings us together.
