Lakewood Playhouse “The Spitfire Grill”

“And the light from these windows ain’t sparkled this bright, not since I can remember back when, and my friends and my family are with me tonight and this old grill has come alive again!”

A troubled young parolee yearning for a fresh start follows her dreams to Wisconsin, based on a page from an old travel book, only to find a small town with a gritty heart aching with longing and regret. Unexpectedly discovering the healing power of community while working at The Spitfire Grill, Percy reawakens the entire town’s capacity for rebirth, forgiveness and hope. Set to a melodic folk inspired score, The Spitfire Grill is a joyous celebration of human kindness.

“Soul satisfying…The musical is freeing. It is penetrated by honesty and it glows.” – The New York Times

“A hymn to human kindness and rebirth. It is a musical that speaks to us as we live today. The delicate and powerful theme of healing deep wounds and the beautiful folk melodies touch the audience. A wonderful work that cleanses the heart.” – Performing Arts (Japan)
