Special Episode: McCracken and Leary on the science and catharsis in 'Heartbreak Hotel'

On today's episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with Karin McCracken and Simon Leary, the stars of the new Off-Broadway play "Heartbreak Hotel." McCracken wrote the show and stars as a woman living through the ups and downs of a particularly difficult breakup.

The show's unique structure highlights the messiness of a traumatic breakup while also explaining to the audience what is happening to them on a scientific level as they go through a breakup. Peppered with laughs, music, and catharsis, the show is a unique look at a universally painful experience.

"Heartbreak Hotel" runs through April 19 at the DR2 Theatre.
