An epic portrayal of the American dream
In 1844, Heyum Lehmann arrives in New York from Bavaria to make his way in a new world. After changing his name to Henry Lehman, he and his brothers start a small fabric business that evolves over generations to become a powerful international finance firm. More than a century later, the firm spectacularly collapses into bankruptcy, leaving unprecedented disaster in its wake. This sweeping generational saga questions how we define heroes and villains — and where we draw the line between them. Requiring tour-de-force performances by three actors playing multiple characters, the real-life story of the Lehman brothers unfolds with surprising elegance and astonishing theatricality.
- The Lehman Trilogy is based on a true — but little-known — story about the Lehman family and their business, which collapsed in 2008 and rocked the U.S. economy.
- Three actors deliver powerhouse performances as they portray more than 50 characters over the course of 170 years.
- The Broadway production of The Lehman Trilogy received vast critical acclaim and won five Tony Awards in 2022, including Best Play.
Note: This show runs around 3-and-a-half hours, including two intermissions.
