More information about Swept Away

Swept Away features a score of Avett Brothers hits from multiple albums including the band’s 2004 concept album Mignonette, which was inspired by the true story of the 1884 shipwreck of the same name, in which a small crew fought for survival for weeks on a lifeboat off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is a dark but luminous tale about the choices we make in life and consequences we face, that gets a folksy twist and modern retelling in this new musical. Ask yourself, how far would you go in the face of immense adversity?

What to watch for

  • Tony Award nominee David Neumann choreographs this show, and his work on Hadestown proves he knows how to physicalize how a crew moves.
  • Director Michael Mayer has worked with rock bands before and brought their songs to Broadway, as previously seen in working with Green Day for American Idiot.
  • Some included songs in the show include beloved Avett Brothers hits such as “No Hard Feelings,” “Murder in the City,” and “Ain’t No Man.”
  • Audiences can expect the best of both worlds in this play: all the epic design elements that showcase an enormous shipwreck foregrounded by intimate stories of what makes us human told by a small, adrift crew of sailors.
