About the Show

A young man finds truth, music, and identity through the return of a grandfather he never knew.

Beau the Musical tells the heartfelt story of Ace Baker, a young queer man whose world shifts when he learns that the grandfather he believed was dead is, in fact, alive. As they reconnect, long-buried family secrets begin to surface, and Ace embarks on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and belonging. With a guitar placed in his hands and eight actor-musicians bringing the story to life, this moving musical explores the power of music, identity, and second chances across generations.
