“Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg rescued thousands of Hungarian Jews from certain death by the ruthless Nazi regime. This passionate musical brings to life his triumphs and tragedies in an incredible story of heroism, romance, adventure, and determination. Raoul Wallenberg is ANOTHER KIND OF HERO.”
