A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO DIVORCE Now Running in Hollywood
Three couples, each intent on getting divorced, find themselves sharing the same meeting room waiting for the same divorce mediator.
Thanks to great reviews and robust ticket sales, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Divorce is returning, moving to Hollywood after a successful run in the Valley.
Three couples, each intent on getting divorced, find themselves sharing the same meeting room waiting for the same divorce mediator. Once, each of these couples were in love. What happened to bring each of them to this point? While they're waiting, Brian and Carol, Doug and Angie, and Ken and Tanya share their stories of love that went wrong. Their tales are by turns hilarious and heartbreaking.
What will happen when the mediator finally arrives?
