You're seven years old. Mom's in the hospital. Dad says she's "done something wrong." She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that's brilliant about the world.

So begins a moving, insightful and hilarious new one-person play that is unlike anything you've seen before.

"Girlfriend" single tickets on sale November 12, 2019

GIRLFRIEND
Music & Lyrics by Matthew Sweet
Book by Todd Almond

A vibrant and tender coming-of-age musical duet from when flannel was the height of fashion and mixtapes were the language of love. It's 1993 in small-town Nebraska during the summer between high school and whatever comes next. College-bound jock Mike and self-assured but aimless Will find themselves drawn to each other. Their rush of first-time love, full of excitement, confusion and passion, is captured by the power-pop precision and frayed guitar emotion of Matthew Sweet's alternative rock album "Girlfriend."

The 20-year relationship between Georges (a club owner) and Albin (the head drag performer) faces a test when their son announces his engagement to the daughter of ultra-conservative parents.

A fabulously fun musical (featuring the iconic song "I Am What I Am") about family, identity and loving who you are.
