AOC! Musical for the People is a contemporary ensemble-driven piece focused on the life of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her journey to winning the District 14 congressional primary election in June 2018 – a journey that travels from the Bronx to Westchester County, from the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair to the office of Ted Kennedy, from a clinic in sub-Saharan Africa to the recession of 2008, from the streets and subways of New York to the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, the pipeline protests in North Dakota - and beyond.
