The famed Waa-Mu Show is an innovator in the field of musical theatre writing, giving undergraduate students the unparalleled opportunity to serve as leaders in every aspect of the production, from writing to orchestration to performance. Now, we are thrilled to announce the 2017 production called BEYOND BELIEF: a superhero story. Our high-flying family friendly musical follows two sisters as they grapple with harsh realities by creating a fantastical world of superheroes. Imagination comes to life as the sisters create extraordinary characters based on everyday heroes in their everyday lives. Our story explores what makes each of us super and how believing may be the most powerful ability we have. BEYOND BELIEF shows us how the most unlikely person can be the hero of your story and how the love of family, in every sense of the word, is resilient. The Waa-Mu Show is Northwestern University’s own original musical, written, performed, and presented by Northwestern students. As Northwestern’s oldest theatrical tradition, now in its 86th year, The Waa-Mu Show provides undergraduates with the unparalleled opportunity to create an original musical each year and strives to place itself at the forefront of new musical theatre writing, continuing to push the limits of the “greatest college show in America.” (Associated Press). Students serve as leaders in every aspect of development from conception through production to create a show exploring themes and stories that inspire, challenge, and engage.
