Rosie O’Donnell joins the producing team of Indigo

The Emmy Award-winning entertainer and longtime autism advocate signs on to co-produce the new musical, which is planning a London premiere in 2027.

“INDIGO is the most beautiful and authentic depiction of autism in a kid as I have ever seen. This story needs to be seen by the world.”

Rosie O’Donnell

Elaine is
starting
to forget.

Beverly wishes
she wouldn't
remember.

Emma just
wants her
family back.

When her mother is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Beverly and her husband Rick open their home to care for her. While adjusting to their new circumstances, Beverly’s daughter Emma — a non-speaking autistic teenager with synesthesia — unexpectedly crashes back into her life. Her arrival forces Beverly and Rick to confront the past and learn whether they can become the family Emma so desperately needs.

INDIGO is a heart-warming musical which celebrates the bonds that unite us as family. Three generations of women navigate a life of mistakes, broken promises, and ultimately, their need to reach one another. Emma’s internal experience, underscored by colour, allows the audience to experience life from her perspective, even while she remains silent to the outside world.
