Spill the Tea! is a bold new musical inspired by the first recorded act of women's activism in American history — the Edenton Tea Party. At the heart of the story is Penelope Barker, the daring woman who organized 50 other women to sign a public resolution boycotting British goods — and sent it directly to King George III. This radical act of defiance, carried out in a time when women had no political voice, helped spark a revolution and laid the groundwork, not only for the birth of a new nation, but for women to stand up for their rights.

 

Blending pop, hip-hop, orchestral, and classic Broadway musical styles, Spill the Tea! is filled with humor, heart, and history. With a witty script plus lavish sets and costumes, the show celebrates the power of women who refused to stay silent.​ The musical will debut in 2026 to celebrate 250 years of American independence!
