Description:

On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with Karin McCracken and Simon Leary, the stars of the new Off-Broadway play “Heartbreak Hotel.” McCracken wrote the show and stars as a woman living through the ups and downs of a particularly difficult breakup.

The show’s unique structure highlights the messiness of a traumatic breakup while also explaining to the audience what is happening to them on a scientific level as they go through a breakup. Peppered with laughs, music, and catharsis, the show is a unique look at a universally painful experience.

“Heartbreak Hotel” runs through April 19 at the DR2 Theatre.
