Set at a Catskills resort, Breaking Up Is Hard to Do is the sweetly comic story of Lois and Marge, two friends from Brooklyn in search of good times and romance over one wild Labor Day weekend.  The score showcases 19 Neil Sedaka classics, including "Where the Boys Are," "Sweet Sixteen,"  "Calendar Girl," and, of course the chart topping title song. LOTS OF SONGS - LOTS OF FUN!

Cast: The ages are guidelines.

Marge Gelman (mid 20s- early 30's): mezzo soprano, comfortable to an E and possibly beyond.., preferably a legit sound): Abandoned at the altar, Marge is an aspiring dentist from Brooklyn. 

Lois Warner (mid 20s-early 30s): alto with some mezzo soprano ability, comfortable to a C an possibly beyond Lois is a sweet young woman with more heart than brainpower.

Del Delmonaco (late 20s - late 30's) tenor, comfortable to an A the higher the better.): An Elvis wannabe, Del is not the brightest bulb on the tree. 

Gabe (mid 20's to early 30's) tenor, Bb-C range.) The clumsy, brainy and terribly shy Guy Friday at the hotel, 

Esther (50's to 60's; alto, comfortable to a C, or at least a Bb, but should really be rich in her low to mid register. The owner of the mid-size hotel named after her (Esther's Paradise), Esther is a survivor.  She's always there with a quip or smart remark.

Harvey (50's to 60's; baritone, should have range to an F# or a G.): The resident comedian/social director at Esther's Paradise, Harvey is all about the punch line.
