It’s the journey of women, told through Top-40 music in the musical production RESPECT: A Musical Journey of Women.

Based on her book RESPECT: WOMEN AND POPULAR MUSIC, Dorothy Marcic has created a musical revue high-lighting the history of women in America, from 1900 to the present. From the codependence of “I Will Follow Him” to the anger of “These Boots are Made for Walking”, to the cynicism of “What’s Love Got to Do with It”, and finally to the strength of “Hero”. Combining excerpts of 60 songs with women’s own stories about finding dreams, lost love, relationship issues, entering the workforce, gaining independence, and more, this show is exhilarating! It’s more than just a story worth telling, it’s a must-see and must-hear.

RESPECT features such period favorites as “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” “I Wanna Be Loved By You,” “As Long As He Needs Me” and “Whatever Lola Wants” along with such modern standards as “Where the Boys Are,” “It Must Be Him,” “The Greatest Love of All,” and “Stand by Your Man.”
