Nero Tickets

Meet Nero: the last Roman emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, notorious for his cruelty and ruthlessness, best remembered for supposedly playing the fiddle as Rome burned. Now get ready to experience his story in a whole new light: this new musical reimagines Nero from a whole new perspective, exploring his ambitions as an artist and performer before his rise to power and his role in Rome's ultimate downfall. It aims to put a modern spin on this piece of ancient history, with a story of ambition, power, and greed.

Nero has been in development since at least 2006, and now finally sees its world premiere in London this autumn. It has a book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik (the duo behind the multi-award-winning Spring Awakening), with direction by Lindsay Posner (A View From the Bridge, Noises Off). The role of Nero is played by Andrew Barth Feldman, best known for his Broadway roles in Dear Evan Hansen and Maybe Happy Ending, and for starring opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the film No Hard Feelings. Relive an iconic piece of Roman history as you've never seen it before, filled with bold storytelling and a thrilling score.

This brand new musical from the brilliant minds behind Spring Awakening is a must-watch for musical theatre fans everywhere.
