Jaded

The Musical

By: Hillary Hawkins

Narrated by: Hillary Hawkins

JADED THE MUSICAL is a gripping, emotionally raw musical drama inspired by true events, told through powerful dialogue and unforgettable original songs.

At the center is Jade, a young woman unraveling under the weight of buried trauma, emotional isolation, and a desperate need to be understood. On the other side is her mother, Contessa—strong, exhausted, and battling chronic physical pain while struggling to connect with the daughter she loves but cannot seem to reach.

What begins as a fractured mother-daughter relationship spirals into a deeply human exploration of pain—both spoken and unspoken. As past trauma resurfaces, the boundaries between love, resentment, survival, and misunderstanding begin to blur.

Through explosive confrontations, intimate confessions, and haunting musical numbers, JADED THE MUSICAL pulls listeners into a world where emotional pain echoes just as loudly as physical illness—and where both mother and daughter must confront the truth of what they’ve endured and what they’ve become.

This is a story about:
trauma and survival
chronic pain and emotional inheritance
motherhood and miscommunication
PTSD and healing through expression
the fragile, complicated bond between parent and child

Raw, urgent, and deeply human, JADED THE MUSICAL asks one central question: When everyone is hurting, who learns how to heal first?

Inspired by true events.

I'd love to see this on stage

I listened straight through from beginning to end. I'd love to see this on stage someday. The story kept drawing me in, and it just kept getting better and better. Knowing Hillary Hawkins wrote the musical and performed every character made it even more impressive. Five stars!
