Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

This is a tribute show to the music and lyrics of Neil Sedaka featuring some of his many chart topping hits: Where the Boys Are, Sweet Sixteen, Calendar Girl and Breaking Up Is Hard To Do.

The story is shallow and the dialogue corny but the saving grace is the unmistakable music which brings memories flooding back of growing up in the sixties.

Heading the small cast of 6 was Dean Doyle as the sweet talking, egotistical Del Delmonaco with Jaime Sheehan and Liz van Eck as the two smitten fans (pictured) along with Di Ennew as the owner of the Paradise Resort, Bruce Rollo - the Master of Ceremonies and Max Foggon as the Maintenance Manager (and the real creative brain behind all the hit songs).

Paul used a five piece combo to present Sedaka’s music, a static set and bright, colourful costumes to transport the audience back to the 60’s.

Although the show started slowly the pace picked up as the audience enhanced the atmosphere by singing and clapping along with the show.
