When a whip-smart, deeply imaginative teenager agrees to take a road trip with her free-spirited Latina mother, neither can imagine where it will take them. Chance encounters with a medley of characters along the way bring them closer to understanding what sets them apart—and what connects them forever. At the heart of the story is a mother-daughter relationship complicated and threatened by immigration policies. MISS YOU LIKE HELL reminds us that musicals have the power to explore the exposed territory where political becomes personal.
This never-more-timely story features a book by Pulitzer Prize-winning book writer of IN THE HEIGHTS, Quiara Alegría Hudes, and compelling, original songs by Erin McKeown that are every bit as diverse and eclectic as America. MISS YOU LIKE HELL is a new musical that exudes the joy, love and frustration of being a family in a changing country.
