Sophie Blanchard’s High-Flyin’ Rock’n’Roll Extravaganza soars through the dazzling life (and fiery end!) of the world’s first professional female aeronaut, Sophie Blanchard. Heard of her? Probably not. Why is that? Part riotous rock concert, part Powerpoint presentation, this electrifying new musical is about learning to embrace your inner weirdo, loving what you love and how you love, and quieting the voice that dares to tell you you’re not enough… and balloons. Lots of balloons.
