Longacre Theatre on Broadway

Nerds Has Been Postponed

Reviews Coming Soon

Before Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were the undisputed titans of technology, they were NERDS. Join America’s favorite garage inventors on a hilarious musical journey from the floppy disc era to the iPhone phenomenon, and the epic competition in between, that would revolutionize modern culture as we know it. Fittingly, the production will feature the most progressive technology seen on Broadway, including: on-stage holograms; projection mapping; and an enhanced theatergoing experience through app integrations that allow users to interact with the set and other audience members, choose the show’s ending, and more special features soon to be announced.

Book & Lyrics by Jordan Allen-Dutton and Erik Weiner
Music by Hal Goldberg
Choreographed by Joshua Bergasse
Directed by Casey Hushion

 

This show brings to life America’s most famous geeks, as they embark on their journey from garage inventors to Silicon Valley mega-billionaires. With story and song lyrics written by Jordan Allen-Dutton and Erik Weiner and music composed by Hal Goldberg, the musical is, in words of BroadwayWorld.com, a comic gem.

NERDS was first presented by the Philadelphia Theatre Company, where it received Barrymore Awards for Outstanding Original Music and Outstanding New Play. In 2013, the show played limited engagements at North Carolina Theatre and again at Philadelphia Theatre Company where it received seven Barrymore Award Nominations. The Philadelphia Inquirer called NERDS “generation defining, visually hot and musically adept filled with one knockout, high-velocity number after a number and with surgical precision [like] How to Succeed meets Urinetown, NERDS nails such themes as the cost of dreams and the emptiness of revenge. And, is full of class, insight and wit.”
