Live Audio Description

Led by visionary individuals, international recording artist, songwriter, and founder of Girl Grind UK.

Namywa Hutchinson, dancer and founder of Eloquent Dance Company Romanah Zhane, and Bianca Passelle-Reid, vocalist and founder of Vocal Nova Academy, “What If,” an untold street musical, explores the journey of three main characters: Petta-gay, who took a gallant leap to travel on the HMT Empire Windrush ship and later arrived in Birmingham, Jada who has a life-changing decision to make, and Blessing who needs to dig deep and take a leap of faith despite the naysayers.

Although Jada, Blessing, and Petta-gay never meet, their lives find them in Birmingham with one big decision to make and an even bigger leap of faith to overcome.

As they journey through, make tough decisions, and grow as young women, there are nods to Birmingham’s music, nightlife, economy, and culture throughout, with references to places, sounds, food joints, and events that give you that true Brummie pride and a BIG, BOLD, Birmingham feeling.
