Princess Nylah and the Journey to the Magic Wind
Princess Nylah and the Journey to the Magic Window is a story about legacy. About the gifts our grandmothers hand down. About finding home in yourself, even when you're far from where you started.
A Musical Stage Play by Susan C. Small
From the stage to the pages of a children's book, Princess Nylah and the Journey to the Magic Window is a fairy tale sprinkled with melanin.
When Nylah receives a magical book from her grandmother, she is pulled into a mystical world of wonder. There she meets unforgettable characters like The Purple Owl, guide and keeper of ancient wisdom. She befriends Emani, a girl lost between worlds, and sets out to help her find her magic and her way home.
But wonder always comes with a fight. Nylah must face the evil, bone-eating Lukemenanors, creatures who feed on fear and threaten everything she loves. Armed with courage, heart, and the power passed down through generations of women before her, Nylah discovers that real magic was inside her all along.
With crowd favorites like "We Gon Eat" and "Into the Magic Window," this musical blends West African mythology with urban flair, bringing rhythm, heart, and heritage to a new generation.
