Amelia Earhart rose to unimaginable heights, literally and figuratively. This new musical, from the writer who brought us Billy Bishop Goes to War, re-imagines her meteoric rise from the “girl next door” to the iconic first woman in flight. Inspiring, insightful and entertaining, the play captures Amelia’s indomitable spirit as well as her own approach to the timeless celebrity dilemma of fame versus freedom.
