In the Wash! A New Musical

I am currently creating an original new musical In the Wash ! which is told through the lens of an all women creative team.

This is the story about transformation and emergence that occurs on an imaginary corner of Montmartre in 19th century Paris; Hard working women, with no voice or social rights find a way to save themselves and their dreams, and in the process, they invent the popular dance known as the Cancan.
