The musical centers on the famed 17th-century scientist whose astronomical discoveries challenged prevailing doctrine, dramatizing the clash between intellectual inquiry and institutional power. If the Berkeley run is any indication, the show aims for contemporary resonance as much as historical sweep, framing Galileo's struggle as a story about the personal cost of defending inconvenient truths."
