The Happiest Song Plays Last is the powerful sequel to Quiara Alegrķa Hudes' Water by the Spoonful, which earned Hudes a Pulitzer. She also co-wrote the Tony-winning musical In the Heights with Lin-Manuel Miranda. Her new play is a tale of two young adults who cross the globe in search of connection, redemption, and their place in the world. Iraq War vet Elliot Ortiz has a bright new career working in Hollywood action films. While shooting on location in Jordan, with the tumultuous Arab Spring rumbling nearby, he finds that his wartime dreams and nightmares have followed him into his new life. At the same time, halfway around the world in a cozy North Philadelphia kitchen, his cousin Yaz takes on a heroic new role of her own: as the heart and soul of her crumbling community.
