Overview
An inspiring score of powerful pop hits drives this witty, fast-paced retelling of the iconic story of Joan of Arc, a 17-year-old girl who changed the world. In this pop-rock adaptation, Joan is a warrior for everyone. From her small town to the intricacies of French court to the fields of battle, she led the charge to end a war that started before she was born and overthrow the greatest military power in the world—THAT is punk rock! She talked to angels, stood up to princes, argued with canon lawyers, and held her own in the face of public execution by fire. She led an army with no experience because she was absolutely convinced that if she didn’t save the world, nobody would. Joan is a hero perfect for anyone who has been born into a system that seems broken beyond repair, dares to imagine a better future, and works hard to bring that future into existence.
Full of defiant, chart-topping anthems by P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, Andra Day, Weezer, Melissa Etheridge, and more, WILD HEART affords powerful leading male and female roles and a richly developed ensemble full of saints, townspeople, followers, and detractors. In this revolutionary new musical by acclaimed writer Chelsea Marcantel, join Joan as she defies the odds, demands the respect of her nation’s leaders, and fights imperviously for freedom.
