The Musical
‘Be My Baby.' ‘And Then He Kissed Me.' ‘Ain't No Mountain High Enough.' ‘Where Did Our Love Go?' This is just a sampling of the arsenal of doo-wop hits that the three leading ladies of Bittergirl - the Musical each draw upon in their post-breakup journeys to their new independent lives.
Howlingly funny and emotionally cathartic, bittergirl took Toronto by storm in the mid-2000's as a hit comedy revelling in "getting over getting dumped." Now set for the first time to a knockout list of 1960's and 1970's mega-hits from the likes of Elvis and The Sherelles, Bittergirl - the Musical made its world premiere at Confederation Centre's cabaret theatre, The Mack as part of The Charlottetown Festival, where it played to sold-out houses and critical raves.
In the 2016 - 2017 season, the show had 4 separate productions: at the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre (and on tour). And then: the show returned to the Charlottetown Festival for a summer-long return engagement. Bittergirl - the Musical has been seen at the Globe Theatre in Regina Saskatchewan, at the Stephenville Festival in NL, the Drayton Festival and the Thousand Islands Playhouse in Ontario - the party keeps going, from coast to coast to coast. Who knew getting dumped could be so much fun?
Keep your eyes open for more productions soon across the country and beyond.
