Who knew getting dumped could be so much fun? Relive the highs and lows of heartbreak with Bittergirl, the hysterical romp through the lives of three accomplished women who have been scorned – and the men who dumped them. This cathartic and catchy musical charts the evolution of love gone wrong, from romantic bliss to total breakup, devastation, and the journey back to happiness.

Along the way, this funny and touching journey to independence is fueled by an arsenal of girl group doo-wop hits: “Be My Baby,” “And Then He Kissed Me,” “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Where Did Our Love Go?” and many more. 

So gather your girlfriends, co-workers, sisters, daughters, mothers, and more, and help celebrate the gospel of getting dumped! Don’t miss this cheeky, intelligent, and universally relatable production that celebrates female empowerment.

Running Time: 1 hour and 50 minutes, including a 20 minute intermission.

Audience Recommendation: Recommended for ages 10 and up. There is no official rating system for live theatre. We encourage you to use your judgment based on your child's age and maturity level.
