When her employers tell her she can keep the change she finds in their eight-year-old son's pockets, they set in motion a series of events that will alter both Caroline and their family forever," state press notes on the sung-through show, which boasts music by Tesori (Thoroughly Modern Millie) and lyrics by Pulitzer Prize-winner Kushner (Angels in America).
