This production is staged at Bass Concert Hall in Austin, a large university‑affiliated performance venue known for hosting full‑scale touring musicals and concerts. The show is notable for its heartfelt storytelling and Sara Bareilles’s award‑recognized songs that helped bring the film‑based story to the stage.
