Long Way Down follows 15-year-old Will who is raised to follow the rules: 1. no crying; 2. no snitching; and 3. always seek revenge.

Following the murder of his brother, Will enters an elevator intent on revenge, but on the way down to the ground floor is haunted by ghosts of family and community.

Mixing classic and contemporary hip-hop with R&B, the musical explores the cycle of violence, the nature of grieving, and the power of decision-making.

Long Way Down is adapted from the bestselling novel by award-winning author Jason Reynolds. The production is written by Dahlak Brathwaite and Khiyon Hursey, and produced in partnership with Dale Mott/Edgewood Entertainment and Apollo New Works.
