Music & Lyrics

Based on the 1988 film by Pedro Almodóvar
Both touching and hilarious, it's a story about women and the men who pursue them...finding them, losing them, needing them, and rejecting them. At the center is Pepa whose friends and lovers are blazing a trail through 1980s Madrid. And why do they all keep showing up at her high-rise apartment? Is it her gazpacho? Along with Pepa, there's her missing (possibly philandering) lover, Ivan; his ex-wife of questionable sanity, Lucia; Pepa's friend, Candela, and her terrorist boyfriend; a power-suited lawyer plus a taxi driver who dispenses tissues, mints and advice in equal proportion. Mayhem and comic madness abound, balanced by the empathy and heart.
Composer/lyricist David Yazbek revealed in an interview with thecraptacular.com that he and librettist Jeffrey Lane were rewriting the show in anticipation of a London production. No announcement for the production has been made. [5/24/2012]
