| Heartbreak Hotel | |||
This one’s for the young hearts, the old hearts, and the broken hearts. Check-in to this cathartic comedy from Aotearoa New Zealand — a fun, vibrant place to confront your heartbreak. Fresh from acclaimed seasons at RISING Festival Melbourne, the Edinburgh Festival, and Soho Theatre London, Heartbreak Hotel is a room with a view. Razor-sharp writing and compelling performances lead us into the universal experience of heartbreak with pitch-perfect scenes, vulnerable slices of memoir, and plenty of philosophical wit. Dressed in lavender tassels, and studded with the best of classic breakup songs (Elvis, Celine, the real heavy hitters!), Heartbreak Hotel takes us on a tour through the aching limbo of a serious break up. Story, science and a synth combine in an exhilarating performance that examines what happens in our bodies when we’re bereft. You’ll want to cry. You’ll want to laugh. Welcome to the Heartbreak Hotel. Enjoy a hilarious, honest take on a universal human experience, and leave feeling all the better for it.

This rollicking musical take on Jane Austen’s beloved novel is a side-splitting crowd pleaser.
