She Persisted, The Musical is BACK in an adventurous new digital format! Our New York Premiere may have been cut short due to Covid-19, but we persisted, reuniting our team against all odds — from New York to California, Tennessee, Kentucky and beyond. We’re thrilled to bring you an awe-inspiring virtual remount of last season’s Off Broadway Alliance Award winner for “Best Family Show”!

In this trailblazing musical for young audiences based on Chelsea Clinton’s best-selling book, fourth-grader Naomi’s field trip to a Women’s History Museum turns into a time travel adventure where she encounters inspirational women overcoming barriers and making waves. She Persisted, The Musical is a rallying cry for all of those tiny feminists, mini activists and little ones ready to take on the world, one dream at a time! Recommended for children 5+ but welcomes kids (and adults) of all ages.

Run time: Approximately 60 minutes, no intermission.
Closed captioning is available.
