Performance ArtBook by Terrence McNally Music by Stephen Flaherty Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens Based on a Film “A Man of No Importance”
Discover the quiet power of A Man of No Importance. From the writers of Ragtime and Anastasia, this moving musical is set in 1960s Dublin and follows Alfie Byrne—a bus conductor, poet, and amateur director—who brings his community together to stage an Oscar Wilde play while confronting love, identity, and belonging.
Rich with Irish charm, soaring melodies, and gentle humour, A Man of No Importance is a heartfelt celebration of compassion, courage, and the beauty of ordinary lives. A true hidden gem—tender, uplifting, and unforgettable. Don’t miss it.
Recommended for ages 14 and up. Contains depictions of violence, slurs and strong language
