Broadway Veteran, Estonians, and an Irishman, team up to bring the legendary story of the Singing Revolution to the New York theatre community. The production is initiated by an American director/choreographer, Tony Spinosa, and Irish co-book writer, James Bearhart. The story is inspired by the Estonian emancipation from the Soviet Union in 1991. Spinosa and Bearhart, along with New York-based, Estonian brand manager Valev Laube, have teamed up to propel the production of Singing Revolution: the musical under the Musical Supervision of Doug Oberhamer.
