Whoa, Nellie! is a fast-paced, funny, and surprisingly moving new musical follows the path of the enigmatic and relentless “Nellie King,” the alias by which she was best known.

Along the way, her story brings to light historical realities around gender, addiction, mental health, and celebrity that continue to resonate today. May 17-June 8.
GLENSHEEN 1977. An heiress, kind and generous, is found dead in her bed. Her night nurse, lying lifeless on the staircase. A robbery? A clumsy break-in? A conspiracy? A scandal! The Congdon family tragedy splashed across the headlines of every newspaper in Minnesota. But what really happened on that fateful night at the Glensheen Mansion? Whodunit? Don’t miss the 10 year anniversary of this dark musical that tackles the tale with wicked dialogue and evocative music. July 9-27.
