Award-winning songwriter Tamar Broadbent is back and this time she’s asking – how do you know if you’re living your best life? If you’re not, how do you go about changing it? This exciting musical comedy about ambition, anxiety and avocados promises to be her best show yet.
Tamar is broke, overwhelmed by life and in a complicated relationship with Netflix. Aims for life – find dream job, change the world, go for brunch! Developed by Tamar and Sara Joyce (Dust, Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre; Hedda Gabler, The Bunker; The Scar Test, Soho Theatre), Best Life brings together mesmerising musical theatre, beautifully written songs and highly relatable observational comedy for which Broadbent’s dedicated Edinburgh audiences love her.
Tamar explores ambition and womanhood in a relevant way, asking how we can find love in the world of modern romance, how to be a ‘good feminist’ and why you mustn’t compare yourself to others…. With comedy and a smile, Tamar brings music to issues including sexism in the workplace, class in today’s society and social anxiety.
Tamar Broadbent comments “This is a character musical about a girl who wants to change the world, and not just so she can post about it on Instagram. In a world where there is so much choice, how do you know that you’ve chosen the right path? How do you know what you’re supposed to be doing? Is social media warping our perspective of the world and ourselves? What is happiness and can you ever find happiness if you?re waiting for your existence to be validated with ‘likes’? Lets find out!”
