From her humble beginnings in Boston to her dominance at the top of the music charts, the musical offers an intimate look at the woman behind the music.
“The show takes the audience through Donna’s entire evolution—from the vulnerable ‘Duckling Donna’ to the bold ‘Disco Donna’ at her peak, and finally, to the more seasoned and reflective version of herself later in life. The journey from Duckling Donna to Diva Donna is all about growth, resilience, and embracing the challenges that come with success. Donna’s influence extends far beyond music, impacting pop culture, society, and the empowerment of Black women.”
