Fresh from the SoulO Theatre Festival in the UK, ToyBox Productions and comedian Lesley Carlberg bring HOW I LOST ONE POUND, THE MUSICAL! to the Tarragon Theatre ExtraSpace, Dec 4th – 8th, 2013. Tickets are available via the Box Office at 416-531-1827 and online via tickets.tarragontheatre.com.
HOW I LOST ONE POUND, THE MUSICAL! is the musical for everyone who has ever thought, “Man, if I could lose twenty pounds that would be great. But fifteen pounds would be just as awesome. Ten. I would take losing ten pounds … or even five. ONE! If I could just lose ONE FRICKING POUND THAT WOULD RULE!!!”
An ensemble audience favourite at the 2012 Toronto Fringe Festival, HOW I LOST ONE POUND, THE MUSICAL! has now been stripped down (of its actors!) to its luminous core: the irreverent, irrepressible Lesley Carlberg, comedian. Join her on this audacious, vivacious, curvaceous odyssey into becoming comfortable in one’s own skin.
