About Amanda Andrews
Amanda Andrews presents Bipolarcoaster at Haldane Theatre — a one-woman musical theatre play inspired by her personal experiences with bipolar disorder. The narrative explores finding freedom on the other side of uncomfortable self-awareness, brought to life with original music by Kyle Lacy. The show premiered at the Rochester Fringe Festival in 2025 and is now making its Edinburgh debut. Andrews and Lacy are NYC-based artists. The 50-minute show is for ages 16 and above, contains strong language, and references sexual harassment and substance abuse.
Why see this show?
A personal, musically grounded show that finds both honesty and humour in the experience of bipolar disorder. Original music by Kyle Lacy gives it a distinctive feel, and the Rochester Fringe premiere means the show has already been road-tested before Edinburgh.
