Show Way The Musical
By Jacqueline Woodson
Adapted from her book Show Way, illustrated by Hudson Talbott
Music and Lyrics by Tyrone L. Robinson
Choreographed by Tiffany Quinn
Music Directed by Tiffany Underwood Holmes
Original Direction by Schele Williams

From Jacqueline Woodson’s award-winning story that stitches together history, love, resilience, promise and possibility, this musical will inspire all ages for a better tomorrow.  Soonie's great-grandma was just seven years old when she was sold to a big plantation without her ma and pa, with only some fabric and needles to call her own. The quilt she creates shines a light on the past and paves a road to the future, stitching together possibility and promise. Show Way The Musical, a youth friendly production, demonstrates the power of tradition and generational storytelling.

The Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour is represented by Shaw Entertainment Group, LLC.

This family-friendly production is recommended for ages 9+.
