Broadway! Bellies! And Bums!
Otautahi! It your turn to join us to celebrate Body Diverse Performers!
Exclusively representing all the Plus Size and Curvalicious Artists!
Written/Performed by NASDA Gradute & fellow Plus Size Actress, Celia Macdonald.
AFGC is Celia's first original production. Premiering in 2023 at BATS Theatre in Wellington, followed by a season in Auckland at the Basement Theatre in 2024.
A Fat Girl’s Cry is all about the importance of Body Diverse Casting, Representation, and Inclusion in the Musical Theatre Industry; by taking a journey through Music, Singing, and Dance. Experience a fresh new take on some of your most beloved musicals. Such as, Chicago, Waitress, Into the Woods, and more!
Challenge those closedminded views of what defines a Romantic Leading Lady and breaking down those traditional stereotypes. For anyone that feels like they just don’t quite “fit the bill” in the Industry and within Society.
A Fat Girl’s Cry is a Musical Journey for Every Body!
