About the Show
Deegie, a powerhouse pop punk princess, takes a deep dive into her past relationships through her real diaries in the one-woman rock opera,
Exes: The Musical. Taking the audience on an unexpected journey through the fairytale romantic myths of popular culture, deegie’s diaries chronicle a range of boyfriends—from men who made clear they never wanted to be serious, to clingy, cloying men who held deegie too tight. Her reliving of how that culture intertwines with rape culture and impacts women as they come of age is a rollercoaster ride with the highs of love and validation and the lows of emotional repression, leaving deegie screaming “Stop the ride!” With the sound of Olivia Rodrigo’s older sister (or Avril Lavigne’s younger one), each song is an exploration of memory, accountability, and perspective only time can give.
