WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Suddenly Hope: A New Musical is the story of an ordinary woman placed in extraordinary circumstances. Hope Levine, a down-on-her-luck, out-of-work, musical theatre actress, whose life is in shambles, searches to find the strength to give the most important performance of her life. In her quest to find her sister, secure the safety of others, and find personal happiness, she discovers that she really can make a difference in the world. The musical offers a personal look at today's Middle East conflict and the ultimate meaning of Israel as the soul of the Jewish people.
