The Heart

The Heart Tickets: A Musical About Life's Most Precious Gift

The Heart is a powerful new musical exploring the 24-hour process of organ donation through the story of one family's loss and another's second chance. Directed by Christopher Ashley at La Jolla Playhouse before its anticipated Broadway transfer, this show has been described as an edge-of-your-seat emotional experience that illuminates one of medicine's most extraordinary acts of generosity.

The Story

When a 19-year-old is declared brain-dead in a hospital, a clock starts ticking. Over the next 24 hours, the patient's family must grapple with an impossible decision while potential organ recipients wait for news that could save their lives. The musical follows one precious heart from donor to recipient, examining the profound emotional impact on families, medical staff, and the strangers connected by this act of grace.
