Again
Again
Music and Lyrics by Melissa Li
Book and Additional Lyrics by Katie Ka Vang
Synopsis:
Hmong memoirist and cancer survivor Mai See meets a young filmmaker named Quest, who is inspired to document Mai See’s story despite suffering from chronic cancer herself. When Mai See relapses, their unlikely friendship helps her understand the things in her life that are worth keeping and things worth letting go.
Again is an irreverent, moving, heartbreaking, and funny new musical about a woman who figures out what it means to go from not wanting to die to wanting to live.
