Hit Her with the Skates is a mu-
sical that will have its World
Premiere May 12-27 at Hamilton
Stage in Rahway, NJ. This is a
major step in the development
of any play, but even more so
for a musical. The play has been
in development since its 2009
with a few (public and private)
staged readings along the way
bringing it to this point.
The story deals with Jacqueline
Miller, a rock star who is headlin-
ing her first national tour and re-
turning for a hometown concert
at Windy City Skates in 1994.
When complications hit her
head on, Jacqueline comes face-
to-face with her 12-year-old self
and all the things she learned
during the golden age of the
roller rink in 1977. From the wis-
dom of the Ouija Board to the
power of Smarties candy, Hit Her
with the Skates is a coming-of-
age story of becoming wiser and
feeling sure of yourself, while
exploring the magic and hope of
finding your one true love.
And with plenty of music…
