    Milo's Notebook: The Next Chapter

    4 PM5 PMLittle Alpha Pup

    “Gimme gimme that thing called love!” Have you ever felt the enormous pull of romance, but the idea of being with the wrong person is utterly terrifying?

    Milo’s Notebook: The Next Chapter is a jukebox musical exploring the ideas of wanting love, but those idealizations feeling unattainable—the terror of vulnerability in offering your heart to someone, knowing they might smash it to pieces. Featuring soaring classic and contemporary Broadway music and re-imaginings of well known songs, this show is the moving story of how I came to realize that it is possible to move beyond the heartache of romantic hurt, and learn how to live my life unafraid and real. Resolving to be, in spite of hurt.

    Building upon the foundation of the original Milo’s Notebook show, this “sequel” can be enjoyed as a standalone show if you’ve never seen the original, or it can be enjoyed with the added context of the previous show. Either way, it is sure to pull at your heartstrings and leave you feeling ready to face the world!
