In the Green

As a young girl, medieval saint, healer, visionary, exorcist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen was locked in a cloister’s cell after demonstrating a preternatural sensitivity to the world around her. Sequestered with Hildegard is Jutta, a woman who has spent her life secluded in an effort to recover a whole self after the deepest of trauma. Under Jutta’s guidance, Hildegard attempts to reassemble her own fragmented self while her mentor proselytizes a rejection of brokenness.  In the Green is a musical unlike any you’ve seen, an astonishingly, sonically sophisticated saga of two exceptional women broken by the world and their journey of healing that changed history.

In the Green won the Richard Rodgers Award for Musical Theater and was nominated for seven Lucille Lortel Awards, with Green McLean winning Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Jutta.
