BECOMING NANCY is a coming of age story that has a huge-heart. A new musical that weaves a story of family bonds, first loves, and the courage it takes to find your own spotlight.

The book is by Elliot Davis, music is by George Stiles and lyrics are by Anthony Drewe with additional music and lyrics by Terry Ronald, Elliot Davis and George Stiles. (Stiles and Drew’s production of Honk! won the Olivier Award for Best Musical in 2000.)
