About the musical
Why is it so hard to grow up? GIRL is a good girl: smart, beautiful and a little rebellious. For the most part, she has played by the rules, finishing her college and then graduate school. She is perfectly poised for success, but something is in her way. Floundering in love, life and career, GIRL goes on a journey to discover what she's missing, but wherever she goes, there she is. Eventually, GIRL learns that what she's seeking is herself: powerful, grounded and so much stronger than she thought. A groundbreaking new musical by Zakiyyah Alexander and Imani Uzuri, GIRL Shakes Loose is the soulful story of one woman's search for herself.
