Inside the Chaos: Alexander Berlage & Chiara Assetta on Directing, Choreographing, and Surviving Women on the Verge (part 1)

In Part 1 of our two-part deep dive into Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, we chat with director Alexander Berlage and choreographer Chiara Assetta about the bold creative choices behind this chaotic, heartfelt and surreal musical. Alex shares what initially drew him to the show and how he’s crafted a cohesive vision, while Chiara unpacks her story-first approach to choreography and how she adapted it for the intimacy of The Hayes. We also explore how the team balanced farce, emotion, and heightened reality in the rehearsal room to bring this unique piece to life. 🎧 Part 2 drops June 3rd, where we dive into casting, standing out in the audition room, and advice for young artists. 🎭 Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown is now playing at the Hayes—must close June 8th.
