Play On! Tickets

Play On! is a vibrant theatrical musical conceived by Sheldon Epps, with a script by Cheryl L. West and music by Duke Ellington, weaving Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night into a soulful, jazz-infused celebration. From its San Diego beginnings in 1996 to a Tony-nominated Broadway run in 1997, this show has continued to charm audiences with its rich storytelling and dynamic score. The production has since embarked on international tours and a U.S. revival, proving its enduring appeal.
