Sugar & Stone: The Candy Chronicles is a gritty, heartfelt urban-pop musical featuring kids from the South Bronx. Sharp-witted young hustler Carley has big dreams and even bigger responsibilities. To help her struggling family, she opens a candy shop in her neighborhood—a bright idea born out of necessity. But behind the sweetness lies a bitter reality: Carley’s family is grappling with their immigration status, while her middle sister, Isabella, fights to stay healthy without reliable access to life-saving insulin. In a city where it’s often safer to remain in the shadows, the message is clear: "Only in the darkness can you see the stars." Martin Luther King Jr.
