Discover A New Musical with Kenady Sean & Christine Hand Jones (The Scarlet Letter Musical)
from Musical Theatre Radio presents "Be Our Guest" · host Jean Paul Yovanoff
In this bold new musical adaptation of The Scarlet Letter, penned through a feminist lens by Kenady Sean & Christine Hand Jones, the narrative dives deep into themes of societal shame and female empowerment. Set in a Puritanical society, Hester Prynne transforms her scarlet letter from a mark of condemnation into a symbol of defiance and resilience. Through evocative folk music played by an all-female band, the musical explores Hester's journey of reclaiming her identity and raising her daughter amidst judgment and oppression. Supported by a diverse and dynamic cast of characters struggling with their own battles against societal expectations, the adaptation weaves a tapestry of liberation and solidarity. As Hester navigates love, loss, and the pursuit of justice, the musical celebrates the strength found in embracing one's truth, challenging norms, and rewriting the narrative of shame into a powerful anthem of empowerment where “All Are Welcome.”
