JOY is a feel-good, empowering musical inspired by the life of Joy Mangano, the self-made millionaire and creator of the Miracle Mop.

With a soulful, soaring score by AnnMarie Milazzo and a book by Tony Award winner Ken Davenport, JOY is filled with infectious energy and an emotional core that strikes a chord with anyone who’s ever dared to dream bigger.
The show stars Betsy Wolfe (Broadway’s Waitress, & Juliet) in a powerhouse performance as Joy, backed by a phenomenal ensemble and stunning staging that brings her journey to life in vivid color.
