Wild About You

On the day of his high school graduation party, Billy, a young man feeling at odds with his future before it has even begun, finds a trunk of letters written to him by his late mother, whom he’d been told abandoned him as a child. The discovery sets Billy and his best friend Scoot on a journey to uncover the truth about his past, and his connection to a woman he never knew, who might just be the key to understanding where he stands in the world.

The songwriting pays homage to the lyrical world of Joni Mitchell and Carole King, with melodies and harmonies echoing and drawing on the great artists that followed them. It is an array of nouveau-folk, pop, country-pop and soul music that is tailor-made for storytelling.

With an ensemble of characters from all walks of life, every person in the theatre will find a connection. Audience members will leave reflecting on their own direction, their journey, and their fulfillment, and the idea that "love is what we leave behind," humming many of the earworm songs long after.
