The idea for EXES: The Musical was sparked when deegie stumbled upon her online journals spanning nearly a decade, which included details about casual and serious relationships that were too good not to indulge in. From men who made clear they never wanted to be serious, to clingy, cloying men who held her too tight, her reliving of how pop culture intertwines with rape culture and impacts women as they come of age is a rollercoaster ride with the highs of love and validation and the lows of emotional repression, leaving deegie screaming “Stop the ride!” With the sound of Olivia Rodrigo’s older sister (or Avril Lavigne’s younger one), each song is an exploration of memory, accountability, and perspective only time can give. "A feminist reckoning that transcends multimedia memoir. . .[with] powerhouse vocals" - Opening Night Reviews
EXES: The Musical deals with themes of sexuality and sexual assault. Physical acts of violence do not take place on stage, but there is explicit, non-graphic discussion of such violence.
