Event Details

Tepper will give an inside look at some of the more than 300 inspiring women featured, including prolific and celebrated Broadway writers like Betty Comden and Jeanine Tesori, and women who have written musicals but gained fame elsewhere like Dolly Parton and Sara Bareilles.

Additional Details

Special guest performers include Badia Farha (Hell's Kitchen), Alyse Alan Louis (TEETH), and Ruiran Xun (The Jonathan Larson Project) on piano.

These fascinating songs written by women for musicals that will bring the book to life and make you look at theater in a whole new way.
