Aida at Strand Theatre

Love turns everything upside down and leads everyone down paths they could never have imagined. Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a modern Romeo and Juliet story, driven by a pop-rock score that transcends the vast cultural differences of warring nations to inspire peace. AIDA is a contemporary musical take on a grand classic tale of the timeless bond between an enslaved Nubian princess and an Egyptian soldier. As forbidden love blossoms between them, the lovers are forced to face death or part forever. Together, they set a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the differences between their cultures and heralds a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity. With a powerful score that features stirring ballads and rousing choral numbers, Elton John and Tim Rice's AIDA is a modern crowd-pleaser that embraces multi-cultural casting and exuberant dancing, staging and singing.
