The Lehman Trilogy

Tony Award® winner for Best Play!

Running Time: 3 Hours and 20 Minutes (including two 15-minute intermissions)

Experience this epic tale of one family’s passionate pursuit of the American Dream and the piercing cost of greed, excess and unbridled power. In the late 1840s, three young brothers from Bavaria arrived in America with near-empty pockets but full of hope and ambition. Over the course of two centuries, their family business grew to unimaginable heights and ultimately collapsed into bankruptcy.
