Based on the beloved film that took the Audience Award at The Sundance Film Festival and newly revised for 2024.
The musical’s rich score is marked by Americana folk rhythms, soaring melodies, and irresistible charm.
It reminds us all about the resilience of the human spirit, the magic of new beginnings, and the power of community.
Percy Talbot has just been released from a five year prison sentence for manslaughter.
She is trying to find a place for a fresh start, and based on a page from an old travel book, travels to the small town of Gilead, Wisconsin.
The local sheriff, Joe Sutter, who is also Percy’s parole officer, finds her a job at Hannah’s "SPITFIRE GRILL" – the only eatery in this struggling town.
"THE SPITFIRE GRILL" is for sale but, with no interested buyers, Hannah decides to raffle it off.
Entry fees are one hundred dollars and the best essay on why you want the grill wins.
Soon, mail is arriving by the wheelbarrow full and things are definitely getting hot at "THE SPITFIRE GRILL."
This musical triumph is an inspiring celebration of fresh starts and the power of what one person can do. (STAGEAGENT)
