ABOUT THE STORY

A Priceless Heart is a story about finding true love and going the distance to keep it. It’s a journey of self-discovery and a tale which illustrates in more ways than one the power of great love. In the musical, Lauren Carter, a 20 year old college undergraduate, is torn between her father’s plans for her and her own plans for herself. As heiress of her father’s billion dollar corporation, everything in Lauren’s life is designed to help her successfully take over from him. But Lauren wants nothing more than to chase her own dreams-to be a musician. Yet, she lives by her father’s every rule until she learns of his plans to exploit her. In a fit of anger, she leaves the house and embarks on her journey of self-discovery. In the process, she gets to know Ife Jacobs, the Nigerian-American bartender at her family’s favorite bar. A mutual attraction ensues and a relationship BEGINS. But they are two worlds apart. He’s from the meagerly hoods of the Marcy Projects and she’s from the wealthy Upper East side of New York. Besides, with her father in the middle, Lauren knows dating Ife would not be a walk in the park. In the end, Lauren is forced to make a decision between her father’s empire and the love of her life.
