Raúl Esparza Returns to Broadway as Galileo | Entertainment and Celebrity News

Raúl Esparza is back on Broadway this fall in the explosive new rock musical Galileo, stepping into the shoes of the legendary astronomer himself — his first Broadway return since 2012. Inspired by Galileo’s life and his fearless defiance of religious and political power, the show features a gripping book by Danny Strong and a soaring score by Zoe Sarnak and Michael Weiner. Esparza was drawn to the story’s timeless message about speaking truth to authority, paired with its powerful music. The cast also includes Joy Woods as Galileo’s daughter and Jeremy Kushnier as his eventual betrayer, with Bradley Dean, Jordon Lee Garcia, and Javier Muñoz rounding out the ensemble. Michael Park will alternate in the lead role. Previews begin November 10, 2026, at the Shubert Theatre, with opening night December 6 — and Esparza, who previously originated the role, is ready to ignite the stage once more.
