Show Description

Breaking Up Is Hard To DoSet at a Catskills resort in 1960,"BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO" is the sweetly comic story of Lois and Marge, two friends from Brooklyn in search of fun times and romance over one wonderful Labor Day weekend. The score showcases 19 Neil Sedaka classics, including "Where the Boys Are," "Sweet Sixteen," "Calendar Girl," and, of course, the chart-topping title song.

Bright-eyed bombshell Lois drags the recently jilted Marge to Esther's Paradise, where they meet a zany cast of characters: Harvey Feldman, an irrepressible Borscht belt comedian; the slick, handsome headliner, Del Delmonaco; clumsy jack-of-all-trades Gabe Green; and the tough, spunky proprietress herself, Esther Simowitz.

When Lois's efforts to cheer up Marge collide with Del's attempts to make himself a big star, the result is a case of mistaken identity, misdirected love and a series of hysterical hijinks-all culminating in one unforgettable end-of-summer concert. Before the weekend is over, Marge, Lois and the others will experience a little "Laughter in the Rain," tangles with "Stupid Cupid," and realizes that, indeed, "Love Will Keep Us Together." Not a bad soundtrack for a little nostalgic fun.

Music and Lyrics by Neil Sedaka, a megastar in the '50s.

THE REVIEWS ARE IN...

"They use some of my best known songs and some hidden treasures. It sounds as though the songs were written for the show." - Neil Sedaka

"We knew opening night we were extending the show. The word of mouth has never spread so quickly, and we virtually sold out the entire run." - Nancy Laribee, Capital Repertory Theatre

"A knockout production. A smart tongue-in-cheek, bouncy little musical…a foot tapping workout that thoroughly pleased a packed house." -Paul Lamar, The Daily Gazette.
