Ernest Shackleton Loves Me is the critically acclaimed new musical with a tongue-in-cheek script by Tony Award-winner Joe DiPietro+ (Memphis). In this wildly inventive adventure, a sleep-deprived single mom and video game music composer is contacted across time by the famous polar explorer Ernest Shackleton+. Inspired by her music, he shares his epic Antarctic journey with her in video and song. Together, they conquer the odds in a timeless love affair for the ages. Awarded 2017 Best New Musical by the Off Broadway Alliance.
