Did You Know?: Ain't Too Proud marks not only the Broadway debut of this accomplished playwright, but also her first musical.

Dominique on Ain't Too Proud!: "Working on this book was a dream come true. I learned a lot because this was my first musical... You have to let the music and songs be your co-writer, they're going to be your monologue where I'd normally want to do that. Trying to find that balance of being able to do that was a very fun and amazing challenge for me."
