Caught between her well-intentioned mother, high school sweetheart Adam, and the memory of her more-than-best-friend Kelly, Sam has to make a decision. Will she follow the path she always thought she’d take, or summon the courage to drive into a future she can’t imagine?
Full of huge, soaring songs and the perfect blend of humour and heartache, this gorgeous musical reminds us that it’s truly better to have loved and lost, then never to have loved at all.
The Mad Ones is contemporary musical theatre at best. Brimming with catchy songs, it may just be your new obsession.
