A heartwarming musical that lifts up the beauty in second chances and the transformative nature of friendship.
Percy Talbott is a spirited young woman seeking redemption. But in the small town of Gilead, she finds so much more. Based on the beloved film that took home the Audience Award at The Sundance Film Festival, the musical's rich score is marked by Americana folk rhythms, soaring melodies, and irresistable charm. It reminds us all about the resilience of the human spirit, the magic of new beginnings, and the power of community.
"...soul-satisfying...freeing...penetrated by honesty and it glows." - The New York Times
"Soulful...the amiable country-flavored tunes and lyrics are rendered with the kind of conviction and expertise that make them transcendent...sheer nourishment." - New York Magazine
