Looking Back
Right before her former best friend attempts to murder her for sending him to prison for a decade, a cutthroat executive’s life flashes before her eyes on a one-of-a-kind journey through betrayal, ambition, and redemption.
The
Story
Newly-appointed CFO Rebecca Mitchell’s history of betraying her co-workers finally catches up to her when her former best friend, AJ, attempts to murder her for ruining his life. Right before he can kill her, time freezes and Rebecca's life flashes before her eyes in Looking Back, a sci-fi R&B musical. Guided by It, a charmingly enigmatic guide, and the Muses of the Subconscious, a trio of belting divas, Rebecca sees her life unfold before her– including her rise up the company ladder and what she had to sacrifice along the way.
