The Girl Who Forgot to Sing Badly: On Demand

About the Show

Peggy O’Hegarty and her parents are packers. They pack fruit into tins, foxes into boxes and even the longest word in the dictionary into a single breath. All the while, Peggy sings with the voice of an angel—a grossly unfortunate angel who can’t sing at all! One day, Peggy wakes up to find the entire town deserted. Packing an entire city into one ingenious set and all the city’s characters into one extraordinary actor, The Girl Who Forgot to Sing Badly is an inventive one-man show about the courage to sing gloriously off-key.

Irish storytelling with a twist in a one-man show about the courage to sing gloriously off-key.
