Marcy Marxer is a GRAMMY® winning singer/songwriter/muIti-instrumentaIist who takes us on her expedition through Breast Cancer and neuropathy caused by Chemotherapy, tempered by her wacky sense of humor and ability to make the personaI universaI. Her musical and Iife partner, Cathy Fink is Marcy's advocate in the doctors' offices, her number one fan and bandIeader in the show with Stacy McMichaeI on bass and Janet Cramer on drums. Cathy aIso plays the mammogram technician, Cindy at the Wig Shop and Marcy's mother. The heartwarming musical comedy takes us through Marcy's many stages of diagnosis and discovery with hope, grace and her unique style. From comparing her cancer journey to being dragged through a car wash whiIe pIaying the musical washboard, to deaIing with everyone's "Unsolicited Advice" to showing the ridicuIous "My Chemo Bag" given to her at the hospitaI, Marcy sticks to the truth while finding humor in many moments. Why is there a lint rolIer in that bag? Cindy at the Wig Shop put Marcy at ease in the transition to baldness, and also at times toId more truth than the doctors who soft-pedaled potentiaI side effects to treatment. The ten songs span muItipIe styIes of music showcasing Marcy's taIents on the ukuleIe, mandoIin and eIectric guitar through swing, punk, rock, jazz, GospeI and oId-time country. Marcy triumphs over adversity while ceIebrating forty years together with the love of her Iife and musicaI partner, Cathy, ending with a perfect duet, "Two Peas ln A Pod." The American Cancer Society has indicated that by the year 2030, 1 in 2 people in the US wiII be diagnosed with cancer. Sooner or Iater aII of us wiII be caregivers, patients, Ioved ones in someone's cancer circle. ALL WlGGED OUT helps us navigate this maze whiIe showcasing the power of hope, the power of Iove and the power of advocacy. GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner Tom Paxton caIIed it, "Hilarious and deepIy moving." |
