Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown
Book by
Jeffrey Lane
Music and Lyrics by
David Yazbek
Based on the film by Pedro Almodóvar
Two Acts, Book Musical, Rated PG-13
Channeling the burst of energy and freedom in post-Franco Spain, Pedro Almodóvar's WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN was
one of the most unusual and exhilarating new films in years. It was
nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film, and quickly became not
just a classic, but a favorite. Lane and Yazbek, the team behind DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS,
took Almodóvar's tale and infused it with their own wry, comic style
and an irresistible Spanish beat. 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? Gazpacho anyone?
Along
with Pepa, there's her missing (possibly philandering) lover, Ivan; his
ex-wife of questionable sanity, Lucia; their son Carlos; 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 that
are trademarks of Almodóvar's work.
