Lyrics by Nick Parker
Sleepless nights. Microwave meals. Empty bank accounts. Dani wants more than anything to be a writer, but she’ll have to contend with her high-strung barista boss, her overbearing family, her "no-labels" bae, and of course, train delays. Could a meeting with one of the biggest agents in town change everything? With an R&B-infused score, THE GRIND is a 90-minute, day-in-the-life musical about following your dream while dealing with reality.
