Welcome to what's inside Zak's head. From the piano, Zak musicalizes his experience with a serious mental condition as it progresses from out-of-control and chaotic, to in-control and harmonious, while he strives to navigate his relationships and his writing career. Joining Zak is a colorful cast of characters who play younger Zak, his exes, and the parts of his brain that come out during his mental episodes.

In addition to Zak, the cast features Marissa O'Donnell (Broadway's Shrek the Musical), Ty Rood (Nickelodeon's Paw Patrol Live! The Great Pirate Adventure), Jason Simon (The Met's Die Fledermaus, The Merry Widow), and Chelsea Williams (Broadway's In Transit, Mamma Mia!).

The show will take place on Friday, September 15th at 7pm at the Triad Theater, located at 158 W. 72nd Street. Tickets are $25; premium tickets are $40. To purchase, visit www.abittoomuchaboutme.com.
