Bring Your Boa To This Bawdy and Bodacious, Sweet and Sassy Musical!
Sweet Potato Queens is a high-powered musical that tells the story of Jill and her closest friends and how they learn to grab life by the sequins, feathers, and tiaras to live their lives on their own terms…as big as a parade! Based on the wildly successful New York Times bestselling Sweet Potato Queens books by Mississippi based writer Jill Conner Browne, this colorful, upbeat show features a writing dream team of pop music and Broadway song icons Melissa Manchester, Rupert Holmes and Sharon Vaughn.
