GLORY RIDE
A New Musical

Directed by Michael Bello
Choreographed by Denis Michael Jones

Book by Victoria Buchholz & Todd Buchholz
Music & Lyrics by Victoria Buchholz

Based on the true story of Tour de France champion Gino Bartali, Glory Ride takes you on a ride of defiance, sacrifice, and hope. During World War II, Bartali led a secret life, conspiring with the Cardinal of Florence to save hundreds of persecuted innocents from Mussolini's Fascists. Cycling thousands of miles, this unlikely team created the fastest resistance network the world never knew about.
