Stalled: A New Musical will receive an invite-only industry presentation on November 9, 2023.  

Stalled is written by Liesl Wilke (book and lyrics) and Andy Marsh (music and lyrics), with additional music/ lyrics by Kyle Puccia (music supervisor), directed/casted by Jamibeth Margolis (Harmony Broadway, Fiddler on the Roof in Yiddish), with musical direction by  Laura Bergquist (Allegiance).  Haley Swindal of Pinnacle Productions will executive produce, and Lisa Dozier Shacket/ LDK Productions will General Manage. The show continues its journey following a successful workshop at the Pacific Resident Theatre in Venice, CA, and being selected as a Finalist in the Screencraft Stageplay Competition. 

STALLED is a modern musical that uses music and spoken word to explore the multi-layered nature of the lives of women. Set in a bougie building's executive ladies' room in Seattle, four very different women, all stuck and trying to find their way forward, collide in small ways as we learn what they're each hiding from. As the story unfolds, the women connect in ordinary and surprising ways. They see each other in themselves and find the courage to tell their respective truths about motherhood, daughterhood, addiction, loss, identity, and love.

Jessica Rush (Broadway: Tina, Dear Evan Hansen, Summer) stars as Maggie in the new musical about mothers, daughters, love, loss, and identity. She is joined by Juliet Benn (Broadway: Tina, Once on This Island),  Lauren Blackman (Broadway: The Music Man, Anastasia), Gabi Carrubba (Broadway: Dear Evan Hansen), Jully Lee (Broadway: Kpop), Mia Ai Mooka (Regional: Cinderella), Naomi Serrano (Regional: Evita), Julia Wilke (Regional: Stalled), and Nayo Wallace (Broadway: The Lion King), with stage directions to be read by Glori Dei Fillippone (Off-Broadway: Becky Nurse of Salem) and stage manger is Jared Six.
