Get ready to hula-hoop your heart out in this vibrant new musical adapted from the beloved book!

10-year-old Kameeka is determined to become the Hula Hoopin’ Queen of 139th Street and finally beat her rival, Jamara Johnson. But when her mom reminds her it’s Miz Adeline’s birthday, Kameeka has to help get the party ready instead. As the day unfolds with cleaning, cooking, and a few hilarious mishaps, Kameeka discovers that while it’s great to chase your dreams, sometimes the most important thing is showing love and care for those around you.

Filled with catchy music, Harlem pride, and a joyful hula-hooping finale, this delightful show celebrates family, community, and finding creative ways to shine.
