She Sings®: Surviving the Narcissist
She Sings®: Surviving the Narcissist is a gripping exploration of survival, inner strength, and reclaiming one’s voice. It tells the deeply personal story of one woman’s—and millions of others’—journey to escape physical, mental, and financial abuse. Rebecca Magnuson’s own experiences serve as a powerful foundation for the show, including her tumultuous divorce trial in DC Superior Court, where she uncovered over $20 million hidden in four bank accounts solely in her ex-husband’s name—assets he concealed during discovery. Despite this revelation, her motion for a continuance was denied. In a chilling turn, she was later arraigned in criminal court for violating a protective order granted to her ex-husband by sending a single text that read, “F*** you.
Through raw, honest storytelling, the documentary delves into the complexities of toxic relationships, portraying a personal journey that speaks to a broader struggle for survival and empowerment. Created by Rebecca Magnuson, Surviving the Narcissist is part of the broader She Sings® series, which also includes She Sings® A Soaring Musical.
The original one-woman musical, performed by Magnuson, debuted in off-Broadway theaters and toured cities like Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Nashville, to sold-out audiences. Its success led to this powerful adaptation, offering a moving visual narrative of survival. For anyone looking to witness a story of strength and transformation, She Sings®: Surviving the Narcissist is available to watch now. A portion of the proceeds will support She is Safe of Chautauqua County.
Trigger Warning: This documentary addresses themes of abuse, suicide, and trauma, which may be distressing to some viewers.
