“She Believed She Could focuses on the passion and persistence required to relentlessly pursue a musical dream. Whether it’s the story of a country music icon who became a household name or a next generation superstar, She Believed She Could showcases the magic when that dream materializes as a great song and is released to the world,” said Todd Cassetty, the show’s creator, director and producer. “Collectively, the stories and music in our show - as told and sung by some of the most talented women I know - results in an extraordinary, moving experience that transcends ages and genders.”

Cassetty, who is also the founder of the acclaimed Song Suffragettes franchise, added:

“As a father of two young daughters and a Music Row guy who has spent most of his industry career trying to build empowering opportunities for women in music, She Believed She Could is the type of uplifting, family-friendly show that inspires us all, reminding us to never give up on that big dream. And as a first-of-its-kind stage production in Nashville, we’re excited to bring a new caliber of live entertainment to Music City.”

The cast of She Believed She Could is comprised of a remarkable group of Song Suffragettes singer-songwriters: Belles, Jillian Dawn, Kaylin Roberson, Layna, Maddie Walker, and Regan Stewart. All individual artists in their own pursuits, the members of this illustrious line-up have collectively earned millions of music streams, secured opening slots on some of pop and country’s biggest tours, and competed on high-profile music competition shows like "American Idol" and "Real Country."

By design, the majority of the show’s creative and administrative team is comprised of women including Kate Malone who signed on early as Music Director for She Believed She Could.

Says Malone, “Not only does our show celebrate female music icons and a fantastic next generation of talent, but the majority of the creative team for She Believed She Could are women. Having women in positions of authority behind the scenes is crucial … the mutual respect between the cast and crew has created an incredible team spirit that has benefited the entire production.”
