Graduate Musical Theatre Writing Program Adjunct Faculty Member Michael John LaChiusa has his new musical THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA produced at The Old Globe Theatre.

The show was commissioned by The Old Globe and features book, music, and lyrics by LaChiusa and direction and co-choreography by Graciela Daniele. 

A Globe-commissioned world premiere musical by five-time Tony Award nominee Michael John LaChiusa. THE GARDENS OF ANUNCIA is inspired by the life story of an icon of the American stage who directs and choreographs the show at the Globe: Broadway legend Graciela Daniele. Anuncia tends the garden of her country house as she reflects on her life, looking back on her girlhood in Juan Perón’s Argentina and paying homage to the family of women whose sacrifices allowed her to become an artist. This funny, poignant, and beautiful musical features a beguilingly romantic and tango-infused score filled with the exuberant sounds of women reveling in the joys of being alive.
