Handlingen udspiller sig over en weekend i 1960 på et feriested i Catskills-bjergene og følger de to gode venner, Lois og Marges jagt efter sjov, ballade og romantik. Musicalen indeholder 18 klassiske sange af Neil Sedaka, bl.a. ”Where The Boys Are”, ”Sweet Sixteen”, ”Calender Girl” og, naturligvis titelsangen, ”Breaking Up Is Hard To Do”. ”A cheerfully entertaining and nostalgic piece of musical theatre.” – Miami Times / ”A knockout […] A smart tongue-in-cheek bouncy little pocket musical […] A foot-tapping workout that thoroughly pleased a packed house.” – Daily Gazette / ”Sedaka’s tunes are delightfully melodic and feel right at home on the theatrical stage.” – Times Union
