Synopsis

Sympathy Jones dreams of being a super secret agent, but she's stuck as a secretary... until one day, a confidential file is accidentally left on her desk.

When she discovers that the file contains information about a plot to overthrow the government, Sympathy seizes her chance for adventure and fame.

But she soon realizes that trying to save the world against impossible odds is not nearly as glamorous as she thought it would be, and she certainly can't do it alone.

This delightful, 1960s-era musical is full of humor, self-discovery, and heart-pounding action.

Press Reviews

"Anyone who has had a job that underutilizes his or her skills will sympathize with the receptionist in the highly imaginative spoof of a musical. Masi Asare (music and lyrics) and Brooke Pierce (book) inject wit and winks to keep the plot moving... Sympathy Jones showcases a great deal of talent.” - nytheatre.com ”It's nice to have a story about a girl written by women, for women's voices. It's fun, it's silly, it's empowering. It's all the good things that we want."
— Kate Shindle (star of the premiere production) in BroadwayWorld
