I'm so excited that a good story about my home town New Orleans is finally going to be told. So many people don't understand how different New Orleans is from the rest of the country. It has a culture that you can't find anywhere else, the most beautiful music, the most delicious food, and the nicest people. And our story definitely does not begin or end with Hurricane Katrina it is just another chapter in the long story that is New Orleans. The musical also comes from a great book that I suggest everyone read!
