The Beautiful Game is the story of ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. The award-winning musical follows the fortunes of a group of teenagers from both sides of the heavy divide during “The Troubles” in 1960s/70s Belfast. Centering around the beautiful game of football (soccer), this tale of anger, heartbreak, passion and hope is a perfect setting as North America hosts the World Cup. Original cast member Hannah Waddingham brought more love for soccer to the USA with the series Ted Lasso. Beautiful Game/Beautiful City – what a match! 

Featuring a stellar cast of TBCP favorites, newcomers, and artists making their TBCP debut, this summer production follows last Fall's production of THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL, also held at the Athenaeum.
