Yoav Segal designed hit musical crosses the Atlantic for a New York run.

Inspired by the true story of the Battle of Cable Street, this electrifying new musical goes back to October 1936 in London.  

Sammy, Mairead, and Ron are shaping their futures on Cable Street when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists march to the heart of the East End. One hundred thousand Jews, Irish workers, and communists unite to blockade the road they call home. As they take a stand against hatred, their lives are forever changed.

A celebration of community and a rallying call to action, this timeless story is as powerful today as it ever was.
