Book by Jeffrey Lane

Music and Lyrics by David Yazbek
Based on the film by Pedro Almodovar
'When your world falls apart and you’re ready to blow, reach for a can of gazpacho to go!'
Visit post-Franco Madrid for a celebration of all the quirks of the 1980s. Expect big hair, big shoulders and a band that is smokin’ hot. Before Carrie was having sex in the city, Pedro Almodóvar’s Women on the Verge were forging their own path in a newly liberated world. Now, NIDA’s actors will inhabit all the complications of this frenetic, stylish comedy.
‘I’m thrilled to be tackling this outrageous comedy with such a talented cast of performers. The energy of this musical exudes through its electric rhythms and is sure to be a spicy night at the theatre.’ – Adam Mitchell
