Review: World Premiere Musical WILD CHILD Opens at Laguna Playhouse

Featuring book and lyrics by Dan Marshall and music by composer Julianne Wick Davis, WILD CHILD is an ambitious, sincerely earnest, and, at times, cleverly innovative new musical about a group of teenagers who are forced to join an outdoor wilderness therapy program where they must grapple with identity, self-acceptance, and belonging. The world premiere production continues through October 4, 2026 at the Laguna Playhouse.
