It’s sometimes impossible to care about the lives of others and what they might be going through – but how often do we overlook how our stories and the stories of other intertwine? The Theory of Relativity centers around a group of young adults searching for human connection and how they develop relationships, friendships, and communities through their different – yet ultimately relatable – experiences.
In one of the most heartfelt and vulnerable numbers of the show, Mira shares with the audience the true force of a mother’s love. She shares this bond and how her promise to her mother inspired her to keep going, even when things get especially tough. “Promise Me This” is a vulnerable yet truthful ballad about a mother’s desire to make a life for her daughter, and this promise ultimately shapes the rest of Mira’s life.
