Step into the Golden Age of Musical Theatre… ✨

A time of unforgettable performers, legendary creators, and the bright lights of Broadway.

Twelve-year-old Muriel Plakenstein has one dream — to become a Broadway star.

After running away from home, Muriel unexpectedly crosses paths with the Queen of Broadway herself, Ethel Merman, who takes the young performer under her wing.

When legendary producer David Merrick discovers Muriel’s talent, he decides to create Broadway history with the first all-child production of Hello, Dolly!

With guidance from one of theatre’s greatest icons, Muriel discovers what it truly means to chase a dream, find your voice, and step into the spotlight.

A smart, funny, and heartfelt musical about childhood, family, ambition, and the magic of musical theatre.
