ABOUT THE SHOW

This award-winning dark operetta is a razor-sharp fable about othering, betrayal, and revenge.

Beneath its cheeky title—one that deliberately uses “unacceptable” language by today’s standards—lies a haunting exploration of childhood trauma and the monstrous ways society punishes difference. Because sometimes, the ones we call “fat” carry much more than just weight—they carry the burden of being othered, excluded, and misunderstood.

Lauded by critics and audiences alike, Fatty Fatty No Friends was named a Critic’s Pick by Time Out New York and Theater is Easy, and reached #2 on ShowScore’s Must-See list, nestled between Hamilton and Fun Home.

With haunting melodies, biting humor, and a story that lingers long after the final note, this operetta invites you to confront the question:

When cruelty becomes routine, what’s left for a kid to do... but snap?
