Music and Lyrics by MILCK (aka Connie K. Lim) and AG (aka Adrianne Gonzalez)

A powerful, uplifting new musical.

Singer-songwriter Mia Bing has been hustling for years and is desperate to break through in the music industry. Just as she receives the call that could change her career, she’s pulled back to her childhood home, where she’s once again the “disappointing” daughter of her Asian immigrant parents, still haunted by an unresolved secret. Mia must learn to use her voice to confront and heal from the past.

In 2017, MILCK and AG’s “Quiet,” a song about MILCK’s survivor journey, became a viral sensation around the world. That same spirit inspired them and acclaimed playwright Sam Chanse to draw on each of their personal stories to create The Family Album, a humorous and poignant original musical about finding and reclaiming your voice and using it for change.

Commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse, The Family Album features a soulful power-pop score by MILCK and AG. Director Jess McLeod is known for work that blends emotional intimacy with expansive visual storytelling. This powerful, uplifting new musical is a journey through the healing power of connection. It will hit you right in the heart.
