The Girl Who Cried Different

Book and Additional Lyrics by Lauren Kahane

Music by Tommy Barbarella

Lyrics by Mariella Elm

When Papa sets out to help his daughter Mariella write a musical about what it’s like to be a girl like her in middle school, little does he suspect that it will also be about what it’s like to be him: A rock-star turned stay-at-home Dad. The Girl Who Cried Different is the story of a man and a girl who set out to write a musical to help heal the world, and wind up healing themselves in the process.
