wild project is incredibly saddened by the passing of our good friend, artist, and queer angel, Jill Sobule. 🌈 ♥️
“I was devastated to hear about Jill’s passing. It was kismet that our paths crossed with each other. After the covid shutdown we met through a mutual dear friend and the rest is history. It was an honor and privilege that I/wild project were able to produce F*ck7thgrade and have it run 4 times over a span of 2 years! Jill quickly became part of our family. All of the cast, Creative team and crew are truly bonded for life. The memories are ours to cherish forever. Jill’s show F*ck7thgrade resonated with so many audiences, no matter their age, gender or ethnicity. People saw themselves in Jill, she was a gifted storyteller. I love her so much and my heart is broken.”- Ana Mari de Quesada Producing Artistic Director
“She helped put wild project on the map through her storytelling and her music guided us out of a tough time. It was a blessing to know her.” -Tom Escovar, Producing Director
I can’t believe one year ago we lost our dear beloved @jillsobule . It’s still all so surreal and unbelievable. 💔💗
I took this BTS video when we were in tech for @f_ck7thgrade@wildprojectnyc 🎸🌈
This year we lost an incredible performer and an even more incredible human being. Jill was one of a kind with a heart of gold. She Kissed a Girl. She was a Supermodel. She rocked. She rolled. Dear Jill, you are greatly missed by so many. May you rest in peace. 🧡💙

Repost. @jujuwolf_ This note will be short and sweet. When I find the words, I’ll say more about my beloved friend. This memorial show is happening and the music will speak for itself.
We hope you can come be with us and share in Jill’s brilliance.

💕🎸🌈Posted @withregram • @_therealelisabeth_ I know I keep posting about Jill, but whenever another one of our F7G fam sends something along, it all just comes rushing back. Tonight @seanscotthagerty sent me a pic, he said “you and your girl.” You can see the silhouette of Matilda look up at me smiling while Jill is on stage rocking her heart out. The rest I swiped from Sean’s IG…haha, sorry not sorry buddy… There’s a group shot of the fam, all laughing because I guarantee Jill said something crazy right before that picture was taken. The “I kissed a girl” moment of tech…I’m the only one in the house…again, laughing, because…well, it was that one part of the show. If you know, you know. Most moments were like this. Some were hard. Some were tense. But it always came back to love, family, and a whole lot of laughter. I can very confidently say that a show has never changed me like this one. It was a good, good life.
The Original Cast Recording of “F*ck 7th Grade” is out on all digital platforms worldwide today! 🧡
Also out today, “Jill Sobule” - her first album for Atlantic Records on red vinyl to help celebrate its 30th Anniversary & Pride Month. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
We can’t believe it’s been three weeks! 😔 Repost from @officialgogos :
In memory of Jill Sobule 1959-2025
Lyrics by @janewiedlin
Charlotte Caffey and Lloyd Cole
SO JILL
(Char) I watched her playing and noticed she knows a lot of chords
I’ve got a handful and never seem to learn more
I don’t understand it, it isn’t fair that she’s so neat
She’s got more talent
At least I wrote “We Got The Beat”
SO JILL SO BULE
SO ILL SO COOL
OH GIRL YOU RULE
SO JILL SO BULE
(LLOYD)
Four thousand dollars I really covet that guitar
But more important I’d sell my soul to be like you are I’m so twisted, I want your “Lucy In The Gym”
Do you remember The all time college classic “Perfect Skin”
SO JILL SO BULE
SO ILL SO COOL
OH GIRL YOU RULE SO
JILL SO BULE
And if you think we’re stalking you And if you think we wanna be you
All of the above
True True True
(JANE)
I kissed a lot of girls but I never admitted it
She kissed just one and turned it into a massive hit I am so bitter, the more she sings the worse I feel But why should I care
At least I wrote “Our Lips Are Sealed”
SO JILL SO BULE
SO ILL SO COOL
OH GIRL YOU RULE
SO JILL SO BULE
SO JILL SO BULE
SO ILL SO COOL
OH GIRL YOU RULE
SO JILL SO BULE
