Jilted: A New Musical by Irish writer Lauryn Gaffney is a bold, funny, and heartfelt story of heartbreak and self-discovery. Jill, an American photographer, moves to Ireland and falls in love—only to be left at the altar. Through catchy songs, misadventures, and deep moments with her two best friends, she begins to rebuild.
