WORLD PREMIERE
OUR CITY OF SAINTS is a heartfelt original musical that follows the Sinclair family across five decades of life in New Orleans. From the team’s founding in 1966 through the triumphant 2010 Super Bowl, the play explores how one family's personal story mirrors the journey of the city and its beloved Saints.
The show features an original score by Paul Soniat—infused with the sounds of New Orleans—ranging from brass band anthems and gospel-inflected choruses to heartfelt ballads and second-line rhythms. With arrangements by Emmy Award winner Michael Esneault, the music blends traditional and contemporary styles that reflect the cultural heartbeat of the city.
Through humor, heartbreak, and a powerful original score that blends New Orleans jazz, gospel, second-line rhythms, and theatrical storytelling, OUR CITY OF SAINTS celebrates the bond between generations.
