White Rose: The Musical is based upon the inspiring true story of a small group of university students in Munich, Germany, who secretly met to write, print, and distribute leaflets exposing Hitler's lies and Nazi deception. Their courage in the face of tyrany would ultimately lead to them paying the supreme sacrifice. Sophie Scholl arrives in Munich to join her brother, Hans, and study at university. Inspired by a rebellious professor, Sophie and Hans form a small group of students to resist Nazi rule and doctrine. In passionate and articulate leaflets - printed in secret - the White Rose resistance group provides instructions for passive resistance and, ultimately, sabotage. Sophie is passionate, impulsive and bold... dangerous traits in Hitler's Germany. The words and actions of a nation's youth defy an oppressive government and would inspire others to do the same.
