Let’s tackle the “C” word with humor and hope. Not Covid…Cancer.
ALL WIGGED OUT is Marcy Marxer ’s poignant, yet often surprisingly hilarious, musical show about her cancer experience. We are raising $100,000 to bring it to life as a broadcast for film and television. Everyone gets paid- rehearsal space, director, band, lighting, theater, film crew, editor, audio director, post production, marketing, promotion and more. Movies are made for millions and we're going to squeeze water from the rock!
In ALL WIGGED OUT, Grammy® Award-winner Marcy Marxer blends music, storytelling, comedy and advice based on her firsthand experiences with breast cancer, starting with a funky mammogram in June 2015 and ending shortly after her last chemo pill in spring of 2021. Says Marxer, "There were times when the wig shop gals gave me more information than my doctors. So did conversations with other patients in the chemo room." With her renowned musical mastery and eclectic wit, Marxer traces her transition from award-winning virtuosic musician to artist struggling with chemo-induced neuropathy, and the path back to touring musician. It happens to coincide with her hair story. Marcy will be joined by partner Cathy Fink, and a three-piece band.
Why raise $100,000? ALL WIGGED OUT was scheduled to make its theater debut in the summer of 2020, which was cancelled due to the pandemic. As theater options became more and more distant, Marcy & Cathy decided to reinvent the project as a musical theater piece for film and television broadcast, potentially reaching a larger audience. They are working with the Emmy® Award-winning HMS Media, to mount the show in a small theater with a vaccinated, safely situated audience. HMS Media will film the show and prepare it for broadcast. Broadcast will begin as a pay per view stream during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, October, 2021.
