Another Kind of Hero

Music by E. A. Alexander • Book & Lyrics by Lezley Steele

“Heroic!…a surprisingly good musical about a seemingly impossible subject.” – Toby Zinman, City Paper

“Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg rescued thousands of Hungarian Jews from certain death by the ruthless Nazi regime. This passionate musical brings to life his triumphs and tragedies in an incredible story of heroism, romance, adventure, and determination. Raoul Wallenberg is ANOTHER KIND OF HERO.” – Institute for Jewish/Christian Understanding

“…thoroughly entertaining, providing a three-dimensional picture of the Swedish diplomat hero which intrigues and amazes.” – Ben Rose, Canadian Jewish News

“…incredible and exhilarating…a work of lyrically bracing significance.” – Charles Lee, WFLN, Arts In Review
