The Glory of a Remarkable Story.

— ITALY 1942 —

​

Fascism holds Florence in a grip of fear. Mussolini’s Blackshirts hunt down innocents, using every weapon in their arsenal—guns, tanks, and terror. Gino Bartali, the most famous athlete in Europe, has only one weapon: his bicycle. So how did Gino manage to save hundreds of people, outwitting Fascists, Nazis, and even Mussolini himself? And why didn’t he tell anyone what he did? GLORY RIDE brings this extraordinary true story of hope, resilience, and the power of the human spirit to life in a thrilling new musical.
