WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
July 15-30, 2022 • Dupree Theater at Irving Arts Center
Book by Jeffrey Lane
Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
Directed by B.J. Cleveland
Music Direction by Kelley Poché Rodriguez
Choreography by Kelly McCain
Both touching and hilarious, this zany musical whisks us off to sexy 1980s Madrid, and to the unravelling world of Pepa, Pepa’s wandering lover, the lover’s nutty ex-wife, their son and his fiancée, Pepa’s ditzy friend and that friend’s suspicious boyfriend, plus a lawyer, and a talkative taxi driver. All this comedic chaos is served up with a very specially laced gazpacho, and an irresistible Spanish beat. Exhilarating musical farce!
