CHIX 6, according to press notes, "tells the story of Katie, a comic book artist trapped in an unhealthy relationship with Jay, a narcissistic musician who will do whatever it takes to get ahead. When Jay’s emotional games become too much to bear, Katie’s creations—a quintet of strong, sassy, superheroines—come to life, leaping off the page to teach the vulnerable artist how to be strong and make changes in her life."
Other members of the creative team include choreographer Ron DeJesus, set designer Beowulf Borritt, lighting designer Ryan O’Gara, projection designer David Gallo and costume designer Chris March.
CHIX 6 is produced by Ready, Fire, Aim; Nederlander-Browne; and executive producers Aldo Scrofani and Heather Provost.
