"Don't get mad - get everything!" is the mantra for DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell...and Back! from the producer of the Off-Broadway hit, MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL.

Whether you are newly divorced, on the brink, or happily remarried, DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell...and Back! promises a night of laughter and solidarity for all. The story centers on Linda, who is still reeling from the collapse of her marriage. When all she wants to do is have another bowl of Chubby Hubby ice cream, Linda's three friends (along with a massage therapist/pizza delivery boy/make-over guru and others) decide to help her move on to a new beginning by throwing her the mother of all divorce parties. Using familiar songs with clever new lyrics, and coupled with a good dose of comic mayhem (and a touch of "naughty") the girls cut loose on the realities of divorce, long term relationships and moving on.

The production coming to Los Angeles previously performed at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach and the Parker Playhouse in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. A separate, Canadian company performed the show at Stage West in Mississauga, Ontario last fall.

Broadway and professional theater producer Mark Schwartz (MENOPAUSE THE MUSICAL) teamed up with Dr. Amy Botwinick, author of Congratulations on Your Divorce -The Road to Finding Your Happily Ever After to create this riotous new production, which features direction, lyrics and choreography by Jay Falzone (SHOUT! THE MOD MUSICAL, COOKING WITH THE CALAMARI SISTERS).

DIVORCE PARTY THE MUSICAL-The Hilarious Journey to Hell...and Back! is intended for adults only. The show plays through April 14, 2013 at the El Portal Theatre, 5269 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood, Calif. Performance schedule is Tuesday through Friday evenings at 8 pm; Saturdays at 2 pm and 8 pm; and Sundays at 1 pm and 6:30 pm. Tickets starting at $25 are available at elportal.theatre.com, or by calling 1-866-811-4111.
