JOY: A New True Musical is an uplifting work based on the real-life story of Joy Mangano, the inventor behind the Miracle Mop. Her journey—also told in the 2015 film JOY, starring Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence—now comes to life on stage. From single motherhood and financial struggles to building a business empire, Joy’s story epitomizes the power of resilience and determination – an inspiring celebration of a woman who never gave up and redefined the American Dream!
JOY features a book by Tony Award winner Ken Davenport, music and lyrics by GRAMMY® and Tony Award nominee AnnMarie Milazzo, music supervision and arrangements by Andy Einhorn, choreography by Emmy Award®winner Joshua Bergasse, and direction by Lorin Latarro.
