A brand new, World Premier musical written and developed by Houstonians Michael Weems and Timothy Boaz.   Heartbreak, USA is a modern, funny and often heart wrenching look at love and relationships.

True love lies in the heart of every — no… it just lies.

Jerry’s not going to get off the couch. Not for anyone or anything – not until Missy returns to his loving arms. Only problem? Missy’s just slammed the screen door shut on seven years of neglect.  Jerry holds true to his stubborn vow, joined by his best friend Ricky, a local lothario – Trip – and the often visiting “Pizza Guy.” They crow sad songs to the night and bond as brothers without lovers.  Across town, Missy tends to her emotional wounds with the help of always-the-bridesmaids – Casey and Lizzie – gals who are more than ready to head out of town to find themselves (and normal men).

As the two groups hold their own, a few late night excursions to test the other side’s resolve create more than a few hiccups to everyone’s world and as a result the groups head out of town for adventure as quickly as they return, tail tucked between their legs.  Three couples split, will any reconcile?

Welcome to Heartbreak, U.S.A.! Do you have a ten for a pizza?
