New York City's first world premiere since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic will be a Holocaust-themed musical. "The Last Boy in the Second Republic of SHKID" will open off-Broadway on July 10, with a planned transfer to Broadway.

The play was inspired by the true story of a group of boys at the Terezin concentration camp, who created the longest-running underground publication of the Holocaust.

One of the boys, Sidney Taussig, saved the magazine manuscripts from the Nazis by burying them. Though almost none of the young authors survived, their words live on through the more than 800 pages of poems and prose that Taussig saved.

"We've all missed live theater and history almost missed them," director Steve Fisher said about the play.

"Come back to remember, because the boys are waiting to both break and mend your heart. You'll find yourself immersed in a world imagined entirely by young people. Through their tenacity, you'll witness liberation right before your eyes. You will shed a few tears, but you will laugh too, and most of all, you will hope."
