WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The It Girl is a Jazz Age Cinderella musical, based on the 1927 film. It's a salute to the Roaring 20s and the world of silent movies, where the music was colorful, right and wrong was black and white, and the girl who had IT had it all. Lyrics are by BT McNicholl, with music by Paul McKibbins. Book is by Michael Small and McNicholl, with McNicholl also directing. Jerry Zaks serves as Production Consultant.
