Aimee Mann started working on a musical, based on the memoir Girl, Interrupted. But it takes years for a Broadway show to get produced. So Aimee ended up going into the studio and recording all the songs for the musical herself, and this is the result.

"Magnolia is a mosaic of American life woven through a series of comic and poignant vignettes. Through a collusion of coincidence, chance, human action, shared media, past history and divine intervention, nine people will weave and warp through each other's lives on a day that builds to an unforgettable climax. Some will seek forgiveness, others escape. Some will mend frayed bonds, others will be exposed."--Back of container.
