Miss Manhattan: A New Musical

MISS MANHATTAN is a new musical inspired by the true story of Audrey Munson, America’s “first supermodel,” whose often-nude statues adorn the New York City skyline. Allegedly cursed as a child, Audrey’s meteoric rise to fame meant brushing elbows with Rockefellers, Whitneys, and Astors, but her abrupt fall was punctuated by scandal and murder.

Why has Audrey been largely forgotten, despite her image enduring around the world? In modern day, precocious but awkward 8th grader Claire seeks to learn more about Audrey and what it means to be “beautiful.”
