From the theater that brought you Gatsby, Waitress, and Jagged Little Pill comes a new musical about change, identity, and what it means to belong. Featuring a driving, pop-inspired score by the GRAMMY Award®-winning duo A Great Big World (“Say Something,” “This Is the New Year”) and a book by MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (Eurydice; The Clean House; Smile, a memoir), this uplifting show celebrates empathy, resilience, and the power of choosing kindness.
This production depicts bullying and contains fog, haze, strobe, and flashing lights. Recommended for ages 9+.
