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 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 pIays 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 playing the musicaI washboard, to dealing with everyone's "UnsoIicited Advice" to showing the ridiculous "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 toId more truth than the doctors who soft-pedaIed potential side effects to treatment. The ten songs span muItiple styIes of music showcasing Marcy's taIents on the ukulele, mandolin and eIectric guitar through swing, punk, rock, jazz, GospeI and oId-time country. Marcy triumphs over adversity while ceIebrating forty years together with the Iove of her life 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 wiIl 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." |
