The full cast for The Secret Life of Bees are Ava Brennan (June), Tarinn Callender (Neil), Eleanor Worthington-Cox (Lily), Madeline Charlemagne (Daughter of Mary/U/S August), Danielle Fiamanya (May), Eleanor House (U/S Lily), Rachel John (August), Daniel Krikler (Ensemble), Shekinah McFarlane (Daughter of Mary/U/S June), Mark Meadows (T Ray), Richard James-Neale (Ensemble/U/S T Ray), Abiona Omonua (Rosaleen), Chrystine Symone (Daughter of Mary/U/S Rosaleen and May), Noah Thomas (Zachary) and Marcellus Whyte (U/S Neil and Zach).

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of Sweat, the Tony Award-winning composer of Spring Awakening, and Tony Award-nominated lyricist of Jelly’s Last Jam, comes a captivating new musical about a group of women ignited by rebellion and longing for acceptance.

We hold this house together Hurt just one, you hurt us all”

1964, South Carolina. Rosaleen is fighting for her right to vote, and Lily is escaping her violent father. When this unlikely pair flee their small town, they seek salvation at a remote honeybee farm run by the remarkable Boatwright sisters. But will their past catch up with them?
