A Story For Our Times
The show has been called a "cross between Oliver Twist and West Side Story", as it shows both a child lost in a system and a love story within a community at a crossroads.
​
Olivia O, The Musical, set in El Paso, Texas, is a story about a 14 year old girl who is separated from her mother at the US/Mexican border and sent to an abusive foster home, and her aunt who builds a community of support and activism in an effort to find her and reunite families separated by cruel immigration policies.

A Classic in the Making
It is a beautiful and very moving new musical work and I look forward to the day I can be in the audience at its premiere performance.

Diane and Jessica have written a beautiful, unique, moving and important musical called OLIVIA O.
As a Broadway veteran and teacher of songwriting for many years, I can enthusiastically recommend their engrossing story and fabulous melodies in this exquisite musical.
You will embrace and be heartwarmed by their lead characters -- something so rarely found in a musical.
OLIVIA O finds success as a character and will find enormous success as a musical!
Such good work. The lyrics, the story all come together. I read it and was immediately struck by how strong it was.
It lit a fire in me! The story has so much heart, but it also has legs!
