Beyond Perfection
Book, Music & Lyrics by Kenady Sean,
Lyrics and Music by Emily Horton
Book & Lyrics by Kaylee Killingsworth
Zany, timely, and full of heart, Beyond Perfection takes place in a dystopian New York City and follows Ryan and Kate James, a seemingly picture-perfect couple. The couple are the flawless faces of Perfection LLC’s government-run marriage program—an algorithmically crafted romance, broadcast to millions. Their love is scripted, their happiness engineered—until a glitch breaks the illusion. As cracks form beneath their carefully constructed world, Ryan teams up with investigative reporter Chandler McKinley and a group of off-the grid rebels living in Central Park. Together they question the system they’ve always accepted and confront the cost of comfort and the power of collective resistance.
