-SEEDOEAT REVIEW ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

All These Pretty Things : A One Woman Show A Musical Memoir

• By Tracey Yarad
• Directed by David Deblinger

When a 23-year marriage implodes, one woman turns heartbreak into a razor-sharp musical confession that’s as funny as it is fearless. #TrueStory

Part memoir, part concert, part catharsis, All These Pretty Things is Tracey Yarad at her most vulnerable — and most powerful.

What begins as a deeply personal unraveling becomes an outlandish, seemingly impossible dream brought to life. From Australia to New York City, this is a skin shedding story of reinvention, resilience, and radical honesty.

Performed more than 80 times worldwide — including two seasons at Edinburgh — the show has left audiences floored, many moved to tears, others laughing out loud. Yarad’s ability to “bridge dreams into reality,” as one audience member described it, is one of her superpowers.

Nuanced with razor wit and underscored by her skill as a world-class musician and songwriter, the evening unfolds like music itself: tension, release, resolution.
A masterclass in turning poison into medicine and how to move on..
