From Cause Foundation

The CAUSE Foundation is a non profit organization which has for the past twelve years been promoting local talent through its musical productions, with all profits from these ventures going to worthy local charities.
Over the years, it has successfully staged several broadway musical hits including The Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and GREASE among others to full houses in Bangalore.
This year they are performing the hilarious musical comedy inspired by the songs of rock n roll legend Neil Sedaka titled "Breaking up is hard to do". This musical contains familiar, nostalgic songs and vibrant dances that promise to be a visual treat for the entire family.
The cast and crew of 35 members are all volunteering their time and talent towards this worthy cause.
Storyline: The story is about the bittersweet emotions that accompany the breakup of romantic relationships and the joy of rediscovering the beauty of love all over again. Set at a Catskills resort in the 1960's, this is a sweetly comic story of two friends from Brooklyn, in search of good times and romance over one wild weekend. The music showcases 18 Neil Sedaka classics including O Carol!, Stupid Cupid and the chart topping title song - Breaking Up is Hard to Do.
