"Silas" the Musical

Imagine a man who has everything—wealth, status, and the woman he loves—except the one thing he can’t escape: his past. SILAS is a sweeping new musical inspired by George Eliot’s Silas Marner, set in an English village in the 1860s. When privileged heir, Godfrey Cass tries to bury a devastating secret, a chain of betrayal, blackmail, and tragedy sets a lonely weaver, Silas Marner, on a collision course with the Cass family.

When Silas takes in Godfrey’s abandoned young daughter, Eppie, he discovers something he thought he’d lost forever: love and a reason to live. Ten years later, Godfrey finally comes to claim the daughter he left behind—but discovers that family isn’t defined by blood, wealth, or inheritance. It’s defined by the person who chooses to love you. SILAS is a story of secrets, redemption, and the heartbreaking choice between the family you inherit and the family you choose.

The music is a scintillating medley of Irish sea shanties, pop, country, contemporary gospel, and classic musical theatre.
