The Dr. Phillips Center is hosting the world premiere of 'Brooklyn's Bridge,' a new musical created by and featuring Central Florida talent.

Written by Orlando's Ray Roderick with music by Joseph Baker, the show highlights Emily Roebling's pivotal role in the bridge's construction. When her husband, Washington Roebling, becomes bedridden, Emily steps up to lead, handling engineering and political challenges and proving instrumental in building the bridge.

This production, following previous workshops and concerts, marks its professional debut in Orlando, running weekends through March 6th, with hopes of eventually reaching Broadway.
