Songs for Slutty Girls

Writer and Composer: Kailey Marshall

Songs for Slutty Girls, a new musical by New York-based composer and lyricist Kailey Marshall, explores the ecstasy, pain, and hilarity of sex through a year in the life of one woman. It receives its UK premiere in a staged reading, directed by Tania Azevedo (&Juliet, Heathers, But I’m a Cheerleader).

Our protagonist is represented by four aspects of her personality: Heart, Gut, Head and Hips. At the start of a New Year, she hopes to make some big changes. Will she succeed or fall back into faking orgasms and flirting with f*** boys? The show’s pop/rock score gives voice to the sexual moments in our lives that define us, for better or worse. Songs for Slutty Girls is about finding your place on the path toward sexual liberation.

The composer said: “I started writing Songs For Slutty Girls when I was 20. I looked at the musical theatre canon and realized that there weren’t any funny, truthful songs about sex or sexuality from the female perspective…My hope for this show is that it’s an opportunity to dance in your seat, drunk text your ex, and realize that you’re not alone.”
