"Call It Love" is a song cycle written and composed by Broadway's Chilina Kennedy (Beautiful, Jesus Christ Superstar) starring Tony Nominee Jenn Colella (Come From Away, If/Then). The show grapples with the way we love, both ourselves and others, and how we self-identify and create family in our complex age of information and reputation. "Call It Love" has been arranged by Rick Fox (Jesus Christ Superstar) and directed by Mark Schnieder (Miss Saigon). Click here for tickets.
