Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo Prepping Broadway Musical

SHARE NOW

Pat Benatar and husband/guitarist Neil Giraldo are prepping their first stage production, titled, Invincible The Musical. The musical, which "reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo And Juliet for the 21st century," features a book by Bradley Bredeweg and direction by Scott Schwartz. Invincible The Musical will be running invitation-only industry readings in L.A. on November 10th, 11th, and 12th. The show takes its title from Benatar's 1985 Top Ten hit.

Broadway.com reported, "This new musical explores how love and equality battle for survival in times of great transformation. The star-crossed lovers meet in the modern, war-torn metropolis of Verona as the newly elected Chancellor Paris vows to destroy the progressive resistance and return the city to its traditional roots. Through Benatar and Giraldo’s rock anthems and new songs, Invincible The Musical imagines peace in a divided world."

Benatar and Giraldo said in a joint statement:

When we first began this musical journey, we had no idea where it would take us. The opportunity to work with such creative and talented artists is inspirational. It’s so exciting to see the songs we’ve performed for 42 years morph and fit so beautifully into the story we’ve always cherished.

The recent shutdown allowed us the time to expand this new production into something more extraordinary than we ever imagined. We’re thrilled that live performances have started again, and grateful for the opportunity to showcase Invincible The Musical in front of an audience where it belongs

Although some people are confused by Pat Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo billing themselves as a double act on the road — Benatar told us that's really how it's been since day one: ["People still don’t realize that it was just the record company’s marketing that made it seem like it was a solo thing. The truth is; he and I put that band together, started that whole thing together and, y’know, we — the two of us together — were instrumental in making the sound and what happened, and what happened to my vocal and what happened to his guitar playing. Everything was completely a duo right from the start. It’s just that, y’know, they felt it was better to market it as a female.”] SOUNDCUE (:24 OC: . . . as a female)|
