True Story of Miracle Mop Inventor ‘Joy’ Sweeps Into George Street Playhouse

George Street Playhouse is debuting the new musical “Joy” about the life of inventor and entrepreneur Joy Mangano.

As the inventor of the Miracle Mop, the best-selling self-wringing mop from the ‘90s, Mangano launched a mammoth cleaning product empire on QVC and Home Shopping Network, became an inspiration to women across the country, and was portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence on film. The uplifting new musical is the next benchmark in her remarkable life.

Jersey Arts TV goes to the rehearsal room in New York City to find out more about this new show.

George Street Playhouse presents"Joy" from December 7 — December 30, 2022 at The Elizabeth Ross Johnson Theater inside the New Brunswick Performing Arts Center.  Click here for more information or to purchase tickets.
