Based on the 1984 film, the score includes hit songs such as “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and “Almost Paradise.”

A press release from the City of Jackson states the cast features some of the community’s best singers, dancers, and actors, with special featured performances by Kellye Cash-Sheppard and Peppermint Addie.
