SUPERHERO

About the show

Superhero is an Off-Broadway musical about a grieving, fractured family. The show was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Tom Kitt and Tony Award-winning writer John Logan, and directed by Jason Moore. The story follows 15-year-old Simon and his mother, Charlotte, who are struggling to process the sudden, traumatic death of the family patriarch in an automobile accident. Unable to communicate with one another, Simon channels his grief into comic books and drawing. Things take a surreal turn when a mysterious, reclusive man named Jim moves into apartment 4-B down the hall. Simon becomes deeply convinced that Jim is actually a real-life superhero, and his mother goes along with the ruse simply because it gets her son talking to her again.
