Hands on a Hardbody addresses mature, often distressing, themes such as racism, misogyny, xenophobia, suicide & war – and contains adult and racist language. The cast and production team are vehemently opposed to racism in all its forms and presents the material, not to enable racist behavior, but to show the characters that exhibit such behavior in their ugliness and brokenness.

For 10 hard-luck Texans, a new lease on life is so close they can touch it. Under a scorching sun for days on end, armed with nothing but hope, humor and ambition, contestants fight to keep at least one hand on a brand-new truck in order to win it. In the hilarious, hard-fought contest, only one winner can drive away with the American Dream. Inspired by the true events of the acclaimed 1997 documentary which was adapted into a musical commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse.

Hands on a Hardbody received three Tony Award nominations, nine Drama Desk Award nominations including Outstanding Musical, and won in the Outstanding Sound Design category. The musical also received three Outer Critics Circle Award nominations, including Outstanding New Broadway Musical.
