Publisher's Summary
A soul-stirring new musical conceived by New York Times best-selling novelist Jodi Picoult and playwright Timothy Allen McDonald, Breathe places listeners inside the walls of five homes during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Filled with songs and vignettes that examine new relationships, rekindling flames, parenting, racial reckoning, and grief during a pandemic, this incredibly timely world premiere—written and produced online in 2020 in real-time as events unfolded—reflects the very topics that weighed on the hearts and minds of Americans.
Featuring heartwarming music from five different songwriting teams—Rebecca Murillo and Rob Rokicki, Daniel Mertzlufft and Kate Leonard, Doug Besterman and Sharon Vaughn, Douglas Lyons and Ethan Pakchar, and Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich—and mindblowing performances from Broadway’s top talent—Tony Award® winners Kelli O’Hara, Brian Stokes-Mitchell and Matt Doyle; Tony nominee Denée Benton; and powerhouses Patti Murin, Colin Donnell, T. Oliver Reid, Daniel Yearwood, Max Clayton, Rubén J. Carbajal, and Josh Davis— Breathe is a powerfully touching production that shines a glimmering light on the reality of adjusting to a virtual world.

Real Theater Experience!
It was really interesting hearing a musical over audio only. It still has that musical theater experience, even though you can't see the stage. I think I struggled finding interest in the plot at times, but that was only because each chapter switched to new characters and I wasn't ready for the switching. I was invested enough that I wanted to hear more about the character we were just listening to and found myself a little deflated when the chapter switched. It all came together in the end though and I got the updates on their lives I was craving. Worth the listen if you enjoy musicals!

I listened to this while in the garden
What a true and rememberable “Covid” experience. We live in Canada and the shut down in Ontario had us experience many of those that were shared. Home schooling for our 5 kids (hubby was required to be at work, I taught online), internet issues, Funerals, wedding and breakups. I laughed and I cried.
