A New Musical
cleaVage: the front story
Music and Lyrics by Ron Friedman
Book by Laura Goodenow and Ron Friedman
The “real” story behind fake breasts. cleaVage is an unbelievable-but-mostly-true hilarious musical inspired by the trailblazing surgeons and brave patients who shaped the spectacular rise, equally spectacular fall, and rise again of silicone gel breast implants. Celebrating women’s empowerment, cleaVage provides a whimsical, insightful, and surprisingly emotional journey into breast augmentation and reconstruction, topics of endless fascination for the American public.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon practicing in the Dallas area for well over 25 years, I recognize that I am an unlikely candidate to co-author a musical. However, the true story of silicone gel implants has several plot twists, and I have an insider’s understanding of the intricacies. I have been writing music since my teens, have performed my songs live for crowds up to 15,000, and just might be the only plastic surgeon in the United States who is pitching a musical. My co-writer, Laura Goodenow, is a respected author, playwright, and movie producer (Year by the Sea).
D Magazine published a 10-page story on Dr. Friedman and cleaVage in their January 2023 issue.
The editor of D Magazine was equally impressed by cleaVage.
Texas Monthly wrote a highly favorable review of the staged reading of cleaVage in their March 2023 issue.
Audience reviews have been consistently outstanding.
SYNOPSIS
It’s Houston 1962. Magazine covers and a new doll named Barbie redefine the perfect female figure while plastic surgeons DR. JOHN CONAN and DR. HANK ROUSSEAU invent a way for women to attain it: silicone gel breast implants. DR. ROUSSEAU performs the first breast augmentation on a dog and then on TAMMY BRIE HARLEY, a penniless mother of six.
Demand for silicone gel implant surgery skyrockets, and soon it’s the #1 cosmetic procedure worldwide. DR. CONAN revels in fame and fortune, but DR. ROUSSEAU finds a new purpose—and a perfect bride—in breast cancer reconstruction patient GLENDA BYRNE. Silicone competition in the form of saline implants falls flat…until leaked documents reveal that silicone manufacturer DOW CORNING concealed the truth about implant ruptures and a mysterious autoimmune disease.
Class-action lawsuits threaten DR. ROUSSEAU and DR. CONAN’s livelihoods, but when GLENDA reveals her cancer has returned—and she’s pregnant—DR. ROUSSEAU fears losing it all. Can DR. ROUSSEAU hold on to the love of his life, his unborn baby, and his innovation?
In partnership with MusicalWriters, cleaVage enjoyed a table read in July 2022 and a second table read in September 2022. A staged reading is scheduled during Women’s History Month in March 2023. This is unexplored territory for musicals, and we sincerely hope to bring our work to the public.

THE QUEST
Dr. John Conan, a Texas plastic surgeon, discovers his next invention–and his life’s quest.
I’M ON A QUEST TO MAKE THE PERFECT BREAST
I CANNOT REST UNTIL I’VE MADE THE PERFECT BREAST
IF I SHOULD FAIL, MY QUEST WILL BE A BUST
IF I SUCCEED, MY QUEST WILL BE A BIGGER BUST
OX CARTILAGE AND POLYURETHANE
CAUSED INFLAMMATION, TUMORS, AND BREAST PAIN
PARAFFIN WAX, GLASS BALLS, AND IVORY
CAUSED OPEN WOUNDS, INFECTIONS, AND GANGRENE
POLYMER SPONGES WITH FORMALDEHYDE
CAUSED LIVER FAILURE AND ONE PATIENT DIED
I’M ON A QUEST TO MAKE THE PERFECT BREAST
I CANNOT REST UNTIL I’VE MADE THE PERFECT BREAST
I’LL MAKE THEM ROUND AND NOT LIKE SILLY CONES
WAIT – SILLY CONES? THAT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE SILICONE
AND YOU WILL GET ATTENTION FROM THE GUYS
(ALL OF THE GUYS)
BUT THEY WON’T KNOW THE COLOR OF YOUR EYES
(YES, I HAVE EYES)
AND WITH YOUR HUSBAND, IMPLANTS WILL ADD SPICE
AND ON A PLANE, A FLOTATION DEVICE

NO GRAVITY
I’M ON A QUEST TO MAKE THE PERFECT BREAST
( THE PERFECT BREAST)
SILICONE GEL WILL HELP ME MAKE THE PERFECT BREAST
(I WANT THE PERFECT BREAST)
IF I SHOULD FAIL, MY QUEST WILL BE A BUST
IF I SUCCEED, A BIGGER BUST INDEED

MELON-CHOLY
Women are sad after removing their breast implants.
MY IMPLANTS WERE CLOSE TO MY HEART
(SO CLOSE TO MY HEART)
ESPECIALLY THE BOOB ON THE LEFT
(SO CLOSE TO MY HEART)
AND I CAN’T STAND BEING APART
(APART)
NOW THERE’S A GAP BETWEEN MY BREASTS
AND I FEEL SO EMPTY
(EMPTY)
EVER SINCE MY IMPLANTS LEFT ME
(LEFT ME ALL ALONE WHOA-OH)
IT’S SO DAMN HARD TO GO ON
MY JUICY MELONS ARE GONE
AND I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY
OH, THEY LIVED UP TO THE HYPE
I KNOW MY MELONS WERE RIPE
AND I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY
WITHOUT MY MELONS
THERE’S SOMETHING NOT RIGHT
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT
I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY
MY MOOD IS AS FLAT
AS BOTH OF MY BREASTS
I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY
I KNOW MY BREASTS WERE NEVER REAL
(NEVER REAL, NO NO NO)
BUT REAL LOSS IS WHAT I’M FEELING NOW
THERE’S NEXT TO NOTHING UP HERE

I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY
THERE’S SOMETHING NOT RIGHT
THERE’S NOTHING LEFT
I FEEL SO MELONCHOLY

IT’S MY CHOICE
Breast reconstruction patient, Glenda, is angry. She had the right breast reconstructed with silicone, but now–with silicone gel off the market–her only option to reconstruct her left breast is saline.
WRINKLES AND RIPPLES DON’T BELONG ON MY CHEST
I HAVE SEEN THOSE SALINE IMPLANTS
AND I’M SO NOT IMPRESSED
CANCER’S LEFT ME MAROONED
SO DON’T POUR SALT IN MY WOUND
GIVE ME A MATCH CUZ I’M ABOUT TO IGNITE
I TRIED TO LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
WHEN THEY TOOK OFF MY RIGHT SIDE
CAUSE MY SPLENDA IS SPLENDID
AND IT BLENDED RIGHT IN
NOW MY LEFT BREAST IS THROUGH
I PRAY MY CANCER IS TOO
IF I GO DOWN, I’LL GO DOWN FIGHTING
I AIN’T BREAKING DOWN AND CRYING CUZ
IT’S MY CHOICE
HEAR MY VOICE
MARK MY WORD
I’LL BE HEARD
WHY DO MEN THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTROL
WHAT I PUT IN MY BODY, WHAT I DO TO FEEL WHOLE
IT’S MY CANCER, MY FIGHT
THIS IS MY ANSWER, MY RIGHT
I WON’T BE SILENCED OR DENIED
CUZ I’M THE ONE WHO WILL DECIDE, YEAH
