Based on the 1996 film and newly revised in 2024, The Spitfire Grill is a heartwarming and inspirational musical about perseverance and family. Featuring a gorgeous, soulful score that blends folk and Americana, the story follows Percy, a troubled young parolee searching for a fresh start. Inspired by a page from an old travel book, she ventures to a small Wisconsin town aching with longing and regret. While working at the Spitfire Grill, Percy discovers the healing power of community, reawakening the town’s capacity for rebirth, forgiveness and hope.
