Stunt Girl
Music by David Friedman
Book and Lyrics by Peter S. Kellogg
World Premiere!
The Amazing True Adventures of Nellie Bly
Before tabloid television, before the paparazzi, back when the news business was new...she was the original sensation. Nellie Bly was a groundbreaking investigative journalist, an intrepid world traveler, and a captain of industry — all in a time before America gave women the right to vote. Bridging the years from the turn of the twentieth century to the First World War, this remarkable woman comes to tuneful life in the rollicking new musical Stunt Girl, a fast and funny account of her life and loves, her hopes and heartbreak, and her fascinating times.

The charming score pairs 1900s flavor with contemporary flair — perfect for that go-get-'em-gal Nellie Bly.
