"As light and delicious as cotton candy (and about as nutritious), the two-acter flows effortlessly, carried along by the strains of 19 familiar tunes and its star trouper Renée Taylor...Alvin's powerful pipes pin the audience to their seats and elicit whoops and whistles after every song...Staudenmayer's rich, booming voice, curled lip, and swiveling hips make it apparent that he must be a time traveler from 1960." - Broadwayworld.com Read the entire review.
"Whether you like Neil Sedaka or not, whether you know who he is or not, you're going to like this show...Director Gordon Greenberg did a terrific job pulling this talented cast together. Without exception they are ideal for their roles...This is a show to bring the entire family to for a fun time." - The Portsmouth Press Herald Read the entire review.
Set at a Catskills resort in 1960, this enduring story presents many of Neil Sedaka's most popular songs (the score showcases a total of 19 Neil Sedaka classics), spun together in a light-hearted tale of mistaken identity, friendship and love.
"Breaking Up is Hard to Do" is the story of Lois and Marge, two friends from Brooklyn in search of good times and romance over one wild Labor Day weekend.
Marge's fiancé has called off their wedding. 
Her best friend, Lois, is determined to cheer her up and get her back on the marketing and dating again, so they head for the Catskills and Ester's (Renée Taylor) Paradise Resort In the course of their wild weekend get-away, the girls meet some very colorful characters at the resort.
