“I am incredibly excited and humbled to debut this deeply personal show in New York this fall,” Etheridge said in a statement. “While I’ve been telling my life stories through my lyrics and concert tours for many years, this is going to be something new for me. I cannot wait to feel the exchange of energy and deep connection that’s provided by an intimate theater experience. That’s going to rock.”

In this world premiere production, Etheridge invites theatergoers into an evening of storytelling and music. From tales of her childhood in Kansas to her groundbreaking career highlights— with all of life’s hits and deep cuts between.
