Even if you don’t love history, you’ll love Cleveland. His story is one of romance, high drama and enough plot twists to keep history buffs, and everyone else, on the edge of their seat. You will thrill to music composed by Joshua Lindevaldsen who has been described as reminiscent of Sondheim. Cleveland reveals that history isn’t a mystery, it just hasn’t been told the right way… until now.
