Joy is an uplifting musical based on the true story of entrepreneur and inventor Joy Mangano. Her journey—also told in the 2015 film Joy, starring Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence—now comes to life on stage. From single motherhood and financial struggles to building a business empire, Joy’s story shows the power of resilience and determination. Don’t miss this inspiring celebration of a woman who never gave up and redefined the American Dream!


Though it is being performed at The Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre, Joy: A New True Musical is not a Roundabout Theatre Company production.
