A Fat Girl's Cry

by Celia Macdonald

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!
