Welcome to the Supreme Court chambers as you have never seen them before, transformed into the stage for a comedic, high-stakes operatic battle where law, wit, and music collide.
Scalia/Ginsburg is a clever and moving tribute to the extraordinary friendship between two of the most iconic Justices in American history, Justice Antonin Scalia and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Though often in sharp disagreement on the bench, they shared a deep and enduring bond rooted in a mutual love of opera, fine dining, and travel. The work weaves legal citations and excerpts from landmark opinions into recognizable melodies from the operatic canon, creating a tapestry of music and meaning that is at once playful and profound. It offers a powerful reminder that disagreement and respect can coexist. As the opera suggests, “We are different, we are one.”
Don’t miss Scalia/Ginsburg, where the Constitution sings, the gavel keeps time, and friendship has the final word.
Cast:
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Rachel Policar Justice
Justice Antonin Scalia: Benjamin Werley

"About ten years ago, when I first heard that a musical about the events of September 11, 2001 was being developed and tried out at regional theatre companies, I was skeptical. I questioned why we needed a stage musical about such a painful and tragic moment in our history, and wondered what a musical could possibly add to our understanding of an event that had affected so many lives. I'm sure I wasn't alone in having those doubts. After having seen that show, Come from Away, on Broadway, on tour, in a regional production earlier this year, and on the 25th anniversary weekend of the event, it's understandable why this show has connected with so many. Instead of providing a salacious or sensationalized take on the events of what happened, it's a superb musical that focuses on people's compassion in times of need and the power of human kindness. Fountain Hills Theater's production of this Tony Award winning show has a lovely cast and rich direction that beautifully hits all of the highs and lows in the story and results in a moving, cathartic, and emotionally joyous celebration of life." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
