[NoHo Arts District, CA] – Tracey Yarad’s one-woman musical memoir, All These Pretty Things, directed by David Deblinger, heads to the 2026 Hollywood Fringe Festival.
About All These Pretty Things
Following critically acclaimed seasons across the UK and Australia, All These Pretty Things returns as an award-winning, stage-ready production. At the 2026 Adelaide Fringe, the show received both a Weekly Award and the Final Award for Best Music Production, cementing its reputation as a standout work on the international festival circuit.
When a 23-year marriage implodes, one woman transforms heartbreak into a razor-sharp musical confession that is 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.
Performed more than 90 times worldwide, including two consecutive seasons at Edinburgh, the show has captivated audiences with its emotional immediacy and disarming honesty. Delivered with a conversational, intimate style, Yarad invites audiences to ride every emotional turn – laughing, grieving, and ultimately healing alongside her.
Blending virtuosic piano, gorgeously sung original songs, and deeply personal storytelling, the work explores how life’s failures, betrayals, and indignities can be transformed through art into something beautiful, resonant, and profoundly human. What begins as personal devastation evolves into a story of reinvention, resilience, and radical self-expression – from Australia to New York City.
Critics and audiences alike have praised the show’s emotional depth and relatability, with many describing it as both “breathtakingly honest” (Broadway World) and a powerful reminder of the restorative force of music and storytelling.
A masterclass in turning heartbreak into art, All These Pretty Things speaks not only to those who have experienced loss and betrayal but to anyone who has faced adversity and found a way through.
