Melodies of Verisubani
The Theatre’s “Program Notes” Brings You Exciting News:
Half a century after its legendary screen debut, the first Georgian musical - “Melodies of Verisubani ”, directed by Giorgi Shengelaia, returns to life as a dazzling stage show at The Theatre.
With the immortal music of Gogi Tsabaze and unforgettable lyrics by Moris Potskhishvili, this timeless classic takes on a new form—live, vibrant, and unforgettable.
We invite you into the heart of one of the city[a]s oldest neighborhoods, to witness a story of unspoken love, a crime committed with kindness, and a punishment overturned by public demand.
On this stage, you[a]ll meet Pavle the cobbler and his daughters, Vardo the laundress, the dance class teachers, the police inspector and his subordinates, Pankesa the merchant, Agha-Georgka, and many more colorful characters.
Big things are happening in Vera, and this evening simply wouldn’t be the same without you!
"Melodies of Verisubani " is presented in three acts at The Theatre, accompanied by a dinner experience.
This musical is based on the beloved Georgian film of the same name, “Melodies of Verisubani”
