The Avett Brothers, otherwise known as Scott Avett, Seth Avett, and Bob Crawford, surprised the audience at the December 21 curtain call of Swept Away for a post-show performance of “We Are Loved” and “Ain‘t No Man." Check out video of their performance above.

Featuring songs by the folk-rock group, and inspired by their 2004 album Mignonette, Swept Away opened its Broadway debut at the Longacre Theatre November 19 after beginning previews October 29. The musical, which features a book by John Logan and choreography by David Newmann, is directed by Michael Mayer. The Broadway production is currently scheduled to play its final performance December 29.

Leading the cast are John Gallagher Jr. (Spring Awakening) as Mate, Stark Sands (Kinky Boots) as Big Brother, Adrian Blake Enscoe (Dickinson) as Little Brother, and Wayne Duvall (1984) as Captain, all reprising their performances from the musical's earlier mountings at Berkeley Repertory and Arena Stage.

The ensemble includes Josh Breckenridge, Hunter Brown, Matt DeAngelis, Cameron Johnson, Brandon Kalm, Rico LeBron, Michael J. Mainwaring, Orville Mendoza, Chase Peacock, Tyrone L. Robinson, David Rowen, and John Sygar. Swings John Michael Finley and Robert Pendilla round out the company.

Swept Away follows four survivors of an 1888 shipwreck off the coast of New Bedford, Massachusetts. As they struggle to stay alive, they must question whether or not they can live with the consequences of their actions, and discover how tragedy can lead to forgiveness.

The stage creative team also includes Tony-winning set designer Rachel Hauck, Tony-winning costume designer Susan Hilferty, four-time Tony-winning lighting designer Kevin Adams, Tony-winning sound designer John Shivers, and casting directors Jim Carnahan, Jillian Cimini, and Alexandre Bleau.

Swept Away is produced by Matthew Masten, Sean Hudock, and Madison Wells Live and executive-produced by Wagner Johnson Productions.
