"My True Love! A Perfect Musical Fairytale
Book Music and Lyrics by Ben Boecker
"My True Love!" tells the story of a Witch who dreams of falling in love with a Perfect Prince, so she runs away from home to seek her One True Love in a Magic Land called... Magic Land. On a deeper level, it's all about the power of consent as a window to love. Our goal is to create a show that talks about this complex social issue, while still being incredibly entertaining. My True Love opened off-Broadway on May 3, 2024, and ran for 5 weeks, playing 21 performances at the Players Theater in Greenwich Village.
