Men, money and microphones will be fought over in this irreverent but affectionate adaptation where the stakes couldn’t be higher when it comes to romance. This multi-award-winning production features a string of pop classics including Young Hearts Run Free, Will You Love Me Tomorrow and You’re So Vain.

Imagine wanting to share this news with your most significant other. Then imagine never getting the chance to share that happiness with them because they dump you before you do! Imagine the crash of that happy high! That was the inspiration that led to the creation of this show. A show that tries to make some sense of the unpredictably of life’s curveballs.
