ABOUT THE SHOW
Anna is searching for her parents. Audiences will decide how she finds them. THE GIRL WHO is a multi-path musical that places the audience in complete control of the story. Based on the iconic “choose-your-own-adventure” series, your choices determine Anna’s decisions, morals, successes and failures — affecting not just which path she takes, but how she does so. With 171 possible versions, the audience determines the songs they hear, the characters they meet and the worlds they visit, allowing every show to be unique and every audience to question, “What if I’d chosen differently?”
