FOLLOW A SONG TO HEART'S DESIRE.

In the heart of Scotland, young Murphy sets sail to uncover the truth behind the Loch Ness monster and clear her father’s name, who’s been falsely accused of murder. This whimsical, original musical features a rotating cast of actor-musicians, blending mystery, humor, and heart as Murphy, her loyal dog, and a charming con artist navigate treacherous waters and discover that the dangers of the Loch are real—but not as anyone imagined. Written by an award-winning creative team, The Seekers and the Song is a playful and enchanting tale that explores the wonders of belief and the bonds of family, all set against Scotland’s most famous legend.
