As a young girl, medieval saint, healer, visionary, exorcist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen was locked in a cloister’s cell after demonstrating a preternatural sensitivity to the world around her. Sequestered with Hildegard is Jutta, a woman who has spent her life secluded in an effort to recover a whole self after the deepest of trauma. Under Jutta’s guidance, Hildegard attempts to reassemble her own fragmented self while her mentor proselytizes a rejection of brokenness.

In the Green is a musical unlike any you’ve seen, an astonishingly, sonically sophisticated saga of two exceptional women broken by the world and their journey of healing that changed history.

REVIEWS:

"Musically complex, dramatically abstract, and intensely intimate in style, In the Green is an ambitious work that’s worthy of the focused attention it demands."
Broadway World

"McLean creates a musical texture for Hildegard’s story that flows straight from the body."
New York Magazine

"An extraordinary musical. In the Green is a must-see for serious connoisseurs of musical theater."
TheaterMania

"McLean’s score is a multi-layered polyphonic mix of harmonizing voices and bold, frequently percussive, instrumentals. She produces a shimmering musical charm that at times seems nearly hypnotic."
