Let Me Fly Show

03/29/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated so far to help "Let Me Fly" reach the next level. We’ve almost raised a quarter of the funds needed to get our Broadway artists into a Manhattan studio! 🗽🎙️

This musical is our love letter to the autism community, and seeing so many people rally behind these stories of neurodiversity means the world to us. But we still have a journey ahead to reach our full goal and ensure our talented performers are fairly compensated.

Want to see what this project is all about? Head over to our fundraising page to read our story, meet the creators, and see how your contribution helps shine a light on those who are too often left in the shadows.

Big things are happening for "Let Me Fly" in New York City! 🎭🍎

We are officially fundraising to create professional recordings of selections from the show, featuring Broadway stars who believe in this project as much as we do.

To make this happen, we need to secure a Manhattan recording studio and ensure our artists are fairly compensated for their incredible talent. Our goal is to give these songs the platform they deserve so we can reach the wider theater community and beyond.

Help us celebrate neurodiversity through music. Whether it’s $5 or $50, you are helping us tell a story of connection, communication, and heart.
