About White Rose: The Musical
The powerful new musical White Rose debuts off Broadway for a limited 12-week run, telling a heart-wrenching and heartwarming story about bravery and resilience that promises to linger with audiences long after the show's end. Get White Rose: The Musical tickets on New York Theatre Guide.
This epic historical musical, premiering at Theatre Row on Jan. 17, 2024, stars Jo Ellen Pellman, of Netflix's The Prom, alongside Mike Cefalo (New York, New York) as siblings Scholl and Hans Scholl - the fearless leaders of a Nazi Resistance Group. Kennedy Kanagawa (Into the Woods) joins them, as group member Christoph Probst. The show, written by a pair of educators, exemplifies the power young students have and their potential to change history.
What is White Rose: the Musical about?
Based on historical events, the musical captures the determined resistance of university students confronting Hitler's regime. The gripping narrative follows young activists who challenge Nazi propaganda by distributing leaflets written to expose the injustices around them. Set amid the grim backdrop of Nazi Germany, the musical pulsates with the group’s unwavering determination and hope for a better future.
The true story of the White Rose Resistance Group, led by siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl, began in Munich in 1942. They anonymously distributed leaflets and used graffiti to spark active opposition against the oppressive Nazi regime until they were arrested by the Gestapo in February 1943. Sadly, core members of the group, including the Scholls, faced execution just days later in 1943.
The White Rose's six leaflets, with 15,000 copies circulated, reached thousands of people and went down in history as courageous condemnations of the Holocaust and the Nazis’ other atrocities. Their bravery has inspired many, including those behind this poignant musical.

Great acting, Great staging, Relevant, Great singing, Entertaining
See it if you like stories of young people standing up for their beliefs & organizing for the first time in their lives. Ambitious for the small stage
Don’t see it if hearing voices are sometimes overpowered by the band or if triggered by gunfire.

Uplifting, Absorbing, Intelligent, Relevant, Epic
See it if You want to see a true Nazi resistance story that is unfortunately very relevant but leaves you with an uplifting sense.
Don’t see it if You’re anti semetic or one of the modern day Hitler youth known as MAGA. You need to see and understand but you won’t.
