Overview
Heartbreak Hotel
Heartbreak Hotel offers a holistic and humorous exploration of how heartbreak affects our minds and bodies, in an exhilarating new performance blending vulnerable memoir, famous novels, and scientific texts.
This one is for the young hearts, the old hearts, and the broken hearts. Heartbreak Hotel invites audiences into a world of love, loss, and everything in between. Join Karin McCracken as she navigates the highs and lows of heartbreak, with Simon Leary embodying the ex-loves and best friends along the way. Packed with lo-fi covers of classic breakup songs, bad Tinder dates, and tentative fresh starts, this show is as funny as it is heartfelt.
In an exhilarating new performance blending vulnerable memoir, famous novels, and scientific texts, Heartbreak Hotel offers a holistic and humorous exploration of how heartbreak affects our minds and bodies.

You’ll want to cry. You’ll want to laugh. And you’ll leave reminded of the value of feeling deeply — the good, the bad, and the heartbreakingly beautiful.
