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 and honest storytelling, Surviving the Narcissist delves deep into the emotional turmoil of navigating toxic relationships while emphasizing the resilience required to break free. The documentary not only chronicles a personal transformation but also serves as a poignant reminder of the universal struggle against abuse.
Created by the multi-talented Rebecca Magnuson—an acclaimed singer-songwriter, composer, playwright, and concert pianist—Surviving the Narcissist is part of the larger She Sings® series, which includes She Sings® A Soaring Musical and She Sings® Cafe, Restaurant and Bar. Originally debuting as a one-woman musical starring Magnuson, She Sings® earned rave reviews and sold-out performances in iconic venues off-Broadway, as well as in Washington, DC, Los Angeles, and Nashville. The success of the musical led to its adaptation into a film, with an eagerly anticipated tour set to resume soon.
When she’s not captivating audiences, Magnuson pours her heart into She Sings® Café, Restaurant and Bar on Chautauqua Lake in Mayville, NY. There, her creative spirit continues to inspire and uplift a community of art lovers, creating a welcoming space where music, storytelling, and empowerment come together to craft something truly special.
