Breaking Up Is Hard to Do

Bus Barn Stage Company

September 4-October 4, 2008

Avg. Event Rating (4.8 Stars): Add Review/Comment

At Esther's Paradise Resort in the Catskills, Lois and Marge are searching for romance over one crazy Labor Day weekend circa 1960. Recently jilted at the alter, Marge falls for Del Delmonaco, the lounge singer, while Gabe, all around dogsbody at the resort and secretly brilliant songwriter, longs to make Marge his own. Hijinks abound in this sweetly comic musical that features 18 Neil Sedaka classics such as Where the Boys Are, Calendar Girl, and of course the chart-topping title song. Don't miss this West Coast Premiere!

    Saw this show the closing weekend and it was great. The story, a little loose on plot (kind of like Mamma Mia) was still fun and kept you involved. The interaction with the audience is also a fine point. The singers were amazing, especially the female leads, and the comedic timing of Esther. All in all, though the story line may be cheesy, the show was entertaing, the cast great, and the orchestra wonderful. Collapse

    Don't miss the last four performances of this great evening of musical theater. The cast is perfect, the Neil Sedaka tunes are a mix of familiar and new, and the story charmingly blends the music into a cute and funny tale of life in the 60's. Collapse
