Willow Storm and the Lightning Bolts is a high-energy, coming-of-age musical set in the mid-1980s, following the journey of two artists, Aaron and Tiffany, as they pursue stardom. Aaron, a talented composer and performer, struggles to find his audience while grappling with his sexuality, unsure if he is gay or bi. His best friend Tiffany, a biracial punk rocker, is a classically trained singer and costume designer who struggles with her racial identity and fitting in. With Tiffany’s help, Aaron taps into his inner female rock star and transforms into Willow Storm, a fierce and confident alter ego. Together, they craft Willow’s unique look and sound. As Aaron finds his confidence in drag, he forms a band, Willow Storm and the Lightning Bolts. However, the rise to fame is complicated when a rival befriends Aaron with ill intentions, straining his friendship with Tiffany. The concert explores the glittering highs and difficult challenges of life as a gender-bending rock star, as Aaron learns to navigate the pressures of stardom and self-discovery. This concert event will feature all of the songs from the demo cast recording.
