'Singing Revolution' is a new musical with a crowd-pleasing Euro pop score. It tells the tale of star-crossed lovers against the beautiful, moving and timeless true story of Estonia’s 1987 song-filled, peaceful uprising against the Soviet Union. It’s the story of Taavi Tamm, the leader of a resistance movement, who falls in love with the daughter of his enemy. Inspired by the real history of the Estonian revolution against the Soviet Union, our hero leads his fellow countrymen to freedom through the power of song. ‘Singing Revolution’ parallels our current times and a reminder that the peaceful power of our voices can change the world.
