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 abiIity to make the personal universaI. Her musicaI and Iife partner, Cathy Fink is Marcy's advocate in the doctors' offices, her number one fan and bandleader 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 styIe. From comparing her cancer journey to being dragged through a car wash while pIaying the musicaI washboard, to deaIing with everyone's "UnsoIicited 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 Iint roIIer in that bag? Cindy at the Wig Shop put Marcy at ease in the transition to baldness, and also at times told more truth than the doctors who soft-pedaIed potential side effects to treatment. The ten songs span multiple styIes of music showcasing Marcy's taIents on the ukuIele, mandolin and eIectric guitar through swing, punk, rock, jazz, Gospel and old-time country. Marcy triumphs over adversity whiIe ceIebrating forty years together with the love of her Iife and musical 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 peopIe in the US wilI be diagnosed with cancer. Sooner or later all of us wilI be caregivers, patients, loved ones in someone's cancer circIe. ALL WlGGED OUT heIps us navigate this maze while showcasing the power of hope, the power of love and the power of advocacy. GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award winner Tom Paxton called it, "HiIarious and deepIy moving." |
