The Break-Up Diet, by Tamara Williamson
WINNER OF THE 2019 ADAMS AWARD FOR BEST MUSICAL SCRIPT. TORONTO FRINGE FESTIVAL.
“This story was never meant to leave my bedroom....but it did.”
A unique, deeply personal and emotionally taut auto-biographical theatrical narrative set to music. Musical theatre has never seen anything quite like The Break-Up Diet, a new work from singer/songwriter Tamara Williamson.
Adapted from the soon to be published audiobook and podcast, The Break-Up Diet tells the story of a year in the life of Tamara Williamson as she undergoes a common but nevertheless definingly torturous episode in her life, the ruthlessly fast disintegration of her outwardly perfect marriage. Punctuated by raw guttural songs written by Tamara at the time of the events portrayed, the music is driving alternative rock performed by Tamara and her band, Mrs. Torrance.
Mrs. Torrance was an established presence on the independent Queen West music scene throughout the 1990s, opening for Oasis and signing to a major label just before Napster exploded the business model of the music industry. Mrs. Torrance has reformed adding Sarah Fazackerley a multi instrumented singer song-writer to the mix to provide an incredible musical backdrop (both soundscapes and song performances) to the emotionally devastating and yet ultimately cathartic story of The Break-Up Diet.

Renan Issac
"Your new project is honest, funny and meaningful and takes a lot of guts to present in public. Kudos to you. The standing ovation was well deserved!"
Silence Theatre Guelph
"Tamara Williamson is both musician and storyteller, a Boudica of the stage who, in her latest ‘The Break Up Diet’ act, slays the demons — well, demon, in fact — of a marriage dissolved with song and narration that in her inimitable, fiery style threatens to light up the room in a rhapsodic moment of beautiful, lyric revenge. This is life transformed into devastating art
