AUG – SEP 2025 | Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre

Based on “Réparer les Vivants” by Maylis de Kerangal | Book and additional lyrics by Kait Kerrigan

Music and Lyrics by Anne Eisendrath & Ian Eisendrath | Directed by Christopher Ashley

When a young surfer’s life is cut short, it means a second chance for a woman who had been making peace with her terminal illness. Over the course of 24 suspenseful hours in San Diego, we follow one precious heart on its vital, life-saving journey from donor to recipient, and meet the people whose lives are impacted along the way.

With a gripping book by Kait Kerrigan (The Great Gatsby), and directed by our own Christopher Ashley, The Heart is based on the highly lauded novel by Maylis de Kerangal, Réparer les Vivants. Anne Eisendrath and Ian Eisendrath (music supervisor of Come From Away) have crafted a unique, surging, epic electronic score that takes inspiration from the world of the high-tech hospital.

This breathtaking new musical is an enlightening, edge-of-your-seat ride on a powerful wave of emotion.

Direct from Broadway, this dazzling production welcomes you into Jaja’s bustling shop in Harlem, where a lively and eclectic group of West African hair braiders create masterpieces on the heads of neighborhood women. During one sweltering summer day, love will blossom, dreams will flourish and friendships will be tested. When their uncertain circumstances boil over, this tight-knit group must confront what it means to be an outsider in the place they call home.

The Guardian called it “rapturous,” and The New York Times raved, “full of treasurable moments when the drama feels tightly woven with the comedy.” Featuring humor as entertaining as its characters, this extraordinary play by Ghanaian-American playwright Jocelyn Bioh celebrates courage, community, and the indomitable spirit of women. Jaja’s is a must-see for San Diego.
