About NERO
From the award-winning creators of Spring Awakening, NERO is a thrilling new musical that reimagines one of history’s most notorious figures for a modern age.
Long before his name became synonymous with tyranny, Nero was an artist, a performer and a reluctant heir thrust into unimaginable power. As ambition collides with family, love and political intrigue, a young ruler’s desperate search for identity spirals into madness, forging one of history’s most infamous legends. Blurring the line between celebrity and leadership, this story reveals why the fall of ancient Rome feels more urgent, and more relevant, than ever.
With Duncan Sheik’s contemporary score, Steven Sater’s poetic storytelling and visionary direction from Lindsay Posner, NERO transforms one of history’s greatest myths into an epic theatrical event.
Andrew is best known for his on screen breakout, co-starring with Jennifer Lawrence in Sony comedy NO HARD FEELINGS from Good Boys’ director, Gene Stupnitsky.
