Divorced: The Musical is a radically honest tragi-comedic journey of healing and fresh pain after divorce. Hannah, a bi-sexual woman in her late 30s, spirals into deeper and deeper self-awareness in the year following separation from her husband. The process is messy and filled with contradictions! All original songs range from musical theater ballads to quiet a ca****la folk songs to satirical accordion-accompanied romps.
