iLLA! A Hip Hop Musical at Cobb County Center for Excellence in the Performing Arts

iLLA! A Hip Hop Musical is excited to be partnering with the Cobb County Center for Excellence in the Performing Arts in a workshop and performance of iLLA this June. iLLA! A Hip Hop Musical was not only named as one of the “Top 10 Musicals Not To Miss” by Playbill, the Broadway trade magazine, but also won the 2015 Award for Excellence for the New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF) Developmental Reading Series. iLLA! follows Robert, a classically trained dancer, who dreams of becoming a famous rap star. After suffering a humiliating defeat at a leading open mic competition, Robert struggles to redeem himself in the eyes of his peers. He falls hard for a girl named Stacy, but his family’s prejudices threaten to tear them apart. Can Robert overcome his fears and troubled home life to achieve his hip hop dreams? It’s a journey of swagger, struggle, and self-love that we must all travel. Do you have what it takes to be iLLA?
