New York – All These Pretty Things (Australian Theatre Festival NYC)

By Tracey Yarad. Directed by David Deblinger. Produced by Tracey Yarad in association with The Australian Theatre Festival NYC.

When a 23-year marriage implodes, one woman turns heartbreak into a razor-sharp musical confession that’s as funny as it is fearless. Part memoir, part concert, part catharsis, All These Pretty Things is Tracey Yarad at her most vulnerable — and most powerful.

What begins as a deeply personal unraveling becomes an outlandish, seemingly impossible dream brought to life. From Australia to New York City, this is a skin-shedding story of reinvention, resilience and radical honesty. Performed more than 80 times worldwide — including two seasons at Edinburgh — the show has left audiences floored, many moved to tears, others laughing out loud.

Nuanced with razor wit and underscored by her skill as a world-class musician and songwriter, the evening unfolds like music itself: tension, release, resolution. A masterclass in turning poison into medicine, and in how to move on.

A fully staged production, and winner of Best Music at the 2026 Adelaide Fringe.

Please note: All These Pretty Things may contain strobe lighting.

Part of the Australian Theatre Festival NYC 2026 season, running 29 September – 4 October across Theatre Row and The Green Room 42 on 42nd Street.
