ALL WIGGED OUT is Marcy Marxer’s poignant, yet often surprisingly hilarious, musical show about her cancer experience.

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 is joined by partner Cathy Fink, bass player Stacy McMichael and drummer Janet Cramer.

Hardly anyone these days is not touched by cancer in some way, either directly or via friends and family. The goal of the play is not just to tell Marcy’s story, but to help medical professionals, friends, family and even strangers learn how they can best support those with cancer while keeping a sense of humor. Marcy, and her partner Cathy, were blown away about what the doctors didn’t say, but help others understand what questions to ask the doctors, and what things friends and family shouldn’t say!

As theater options became more and more distant, Marcy & Cathy decided to reinvent their live theater piece as musical theater for film and television broadcast. They worked with the Emmy® Award-winning HMS Media, to mount the show in a small theater with a vaccinated, safely situated audience.
