True crime fun facts, realising you joined a cult and boldly announcing your intrusive thoughts. Yeah - we sing about these things.

A one (and a half) woman musical following a woman's visits to therapy with the hope of a quick fix for dizzy-spells. Instead, she spends a few sessions dodging serious questions, laughing about being human, and finally addressing the loss of a parent.

THERAPY is an original, Kiwi musical based on real events. The show discusses mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and uses strong language.

WINNER: New Zealand Fringe Touring Award (2024)
