Songs of Midlife Madness at The Gateway Theatre

Songs of Midlife Madness is a surprisingly exuberant coming-of-middle-age story that follows Lisa-Marie Newton (with the Tom Shaw Trio) as she confronts the age when her mother had a 'nervous breakdown' wondering, "is it my turn now?" Featuring a diverse list of songs from artists like Patsy Cline, The Rolling Stones, and Billie Holliday, and from a wide range of shows, such as the opera Tales of Hoffmann, New York, New York, and Dear Evan Hansen, Lisa-Marie traces the sources of her own breakdowns, including a mean voice teacher, a cancer diagnosis, and a global pandemic, with humor and fun amidst the chaos.
