BREAKDOWN
JUSTICE: A NEW MUSICAL
It is 1993, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg has just joined the United States Supreme Court; the first and only other woman Justice, Sandra Day O’Connor, is ready to welcome her and get to work. Joining their ranks to complete the picture of the first three female judges in history is Sonia Sotomayor. In an intimate, epic new musical built with sweeping songs, urgent conversations about equality, and truly human heroines, we come to know these iconic Justices at the height of their power. We discover how they inspire, challenge, and propel the next generation of changemakers and trailblazers in American jurisprudence. They confront each other about equal justice under the law, strategy, civil rights, husbands, kids, dreams, and sorrows, all while setting a new course for our country and the world.
