Episode Details

Jennifer Nettles, Sugarland’s powerhouse vocalist, takes on a daring new role as Giulia Tofana, the legendary 17th-century poisoner who armed abused women with deadly revenge. In this bold new musical, Giulia transforms from apothecary to vigilante after her husband assaults her daughter, sparking a clandestine network of justice. With a score and story she penned herself, Nettles stars in a production that blends “Sweeney Todd”’s grit with “Hamilton”’s flair — though critics note it leans too hard on modern feminism, flattening characters and skipping moral nuance. Still, the lavish staging and Nettles’ commanding performance make it a visually stunning, emotionally charged debut — ambitious, flawed, and undeniably gripping.
