Madonna On The Rocks is a dark and hilarious musical about motherhood, madness and making art at the end of the world. A neon-lit, techno-soundtracked mental breakdown at the Stay and Play.
It's about fragile egos, following our childhood dreams and the struggle to be an artist, or to have any sort of career at all really, and be a relatively decent parent at the same time. With banging original tunes inspired by Peaches, The Slits, Madonna and Nina Simone.
Following an incredible Work In Progress run at last year's festival, the show returns, bigger and better than ever before.
"Marie is a powerful stage presence, and bold." Off Chance Magazine
“Marie Hamilton is a force to reckoned with! She brings the paucity, punch, and timbre of ferocity to each character she sketches alive.” North West End ★★★★
"Laugh-a-minute stuff of the highest order... Theatre needs ingenuity like this.” The Greenwich Visitor
Reviews
A war cry for wronged women... riveting from the first moment.
- Adventures In Theatreland (For Polly: The Heartbreak Opera), ★★★★
You could feel the spines curve, the men in power fall off their pedestals... Sweet retribution.
- North West End (For Polly: The Heartbreak Opera), ★★★★
Bringing women’s voices to the foreground in the sexiest and funniest way possible... phenomenal.
