A musical adaptation of Pedro Almodóvar’s beloved film of the same name, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is the brainchild of the talented team behind Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Set in 1980s Madrid, Women on the Verge is a story about women and the men who pursue them… finding them, losing them, needing them and rejecting them.
