Back by popular demand, it’s the musical, based on the book, based on the photos, about southern church ladies and their fantastical hats.

They say: Hold onto your hat—one of our most popular musicals returns with a new production of Crowns. Come see the crowns worn by the “hat queens” of the South—women whose storied lives are woven into the straw, silk, wool and lace that adorn their heads.
