EVEREST is a musical that explores the idea of ambition and the sacrifices we make to pursue our dreams. Lillian, whose father died on Mt. Everest, tries to reach the summit to honor her father and also to find out why he chose climbing Mt. Everest over spending time with her. Since the writers are both immigrants, they understand the cost of leaving their families behind in order to pursue their passion for musical theater. This experience inspired them to write EVEREST, which asks people where the line should be drawn between ambition and sacrifice.
