About Night Side Songs
Experience this groundbreaking musical about healthcare workers and those they serve. "If the purpose of art is to comment on the human experience, it would be difficult to find a more human statement than Night Side Songs," The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote. The musical Night Side Songs plays at Lincoln Center's Claire Tow Theater for a limited run this winter.
From the Lazours, creators of the Drama Desk Award-nominated musical We Live in Cairo, Night Side Songs in New York returns to Midtown after its triumphant run at last year's Under the Radar festival. A breathtaking musical and deeply communal experience where songs and stories are shared together, Night Side Songs off Broadway offers audiences a rare form of catharsis and universal stories about those coping with terminal illness. Moving and glorious, this unique musical is a balm and beacon.

It was one of the most interesting stories told in a musical format that was unexpected and creative.
As healthcare professional, this show was spot on! Made me feel all the feels!
This is an amazingly moving piece about cancer death and coming to terms with the end of life. It's also a sing along, which was a unique choice that really captivated the audience. Mary Testa was a standout in this beautiful ensemble show.

More information about Night Side Songs
A ground-breaking one-act new musical, Night Side Songs explores the intimacy of illness, mortality, and the incredible dignity of caregivers through the story of a fictional character informed by interviews with real doctors, hospital staff, and patients. Night Side Songs is a musical convergence which reflects and celebrates hospital workers' lives with humor, grace, and profound empathy.
Directed by Taibi Magar, Night Side Songs amplifies the voices of those who navigate the complexities of health — patients, caregivers, and medical professionals alike. What emerges is a moving portrait of how we show up for one another. How love can be the most powerful medicine.
