Good to know about Hill. I wonder if anyone has written a book about her? I wish someone would produce a play for children based on her story, with a satisfyingly nasty gang of baddies and such an inspiring lone heroine, perhaps beginning with her terrible car crash. Much better than that awful musical.
I think Hill has written a book that was even optioned for film but it got stuck in development hell. I did wonder if they tried to get rights to Hill's story but were thwarted... tough spot to be in...
That's completely reasonable. I still think everyone I saw it with said they were glad they had gone, seeing new musicals is fun/interesting. And the theater was packed and gave Menzel a huge standing ovation… so IDK. I don't regret seeing it but can't exactly strongly recommend it either…

Helpful to see this POV! I had red flags about this musical and will probably avoid as a result.

Seeing new musicals is indeed fun!
