Following a highly successful debut, Motherhood the
Musical®, returns
to the 14th Street Playhouse March 16 – May 20.
Four Atlanta actors
will humorously capture every stage of motherhood including the changes that
happen to the body after pregnancy and nursing, succumbing to driving a minivan,
and becoming a grandma for the very first time. Declared as
“Engaging, hilarious and touching!” by Variety, Motherhood the
Musical is produced by GFour Productions, the team who has successfully
brought Menopause The Musical® to multiple
international markets and every major market in the United States.
Local actors will return to play
the roles of four women who share their insights of being moms – the blessings
and stresses. INGRID COLE will return as Brooke,
the lawyer, who works too much and barely sees her kids. JEWEL LUCIEN
plays Tasha, a single mom struggling to balance work,
her family, and her divorce. MARY KATHRYN KAYE will return as
Barb, an over-worked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five and
LISA MANULI plays Amy, a soon-to-be first time mom.
CHRISTY BAGGETT will play the understudy role. All actors
are members of the professional union Actors’ Equity Association.
Motherhood the
Musical is from
author and songwriter Sue Fabisch, a mother who understands that sometimes the
best way to cope with the craziness of motherhood is to share the experience
with other moms.
The 20-song musical includes 18 original tunes like the
hilarious Billboard Top 10 comedy hit, “The Kids Are Finally Asleep;” the
rousing call-to-shoppers, “Costco Queen;” and the tender ballad, “I’m Danny’s
Mom.” Motherhood the Musical
shares the humorous and loving journey of Amy, a soon-to-be
first-time mom; Barb, an over-worked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five;
Brooke, a lawyer who works too much and barely sees her kids; and Tasha, a
single mom struggling to balance work, family and a divorce. The
show is directed and choreographed by Broadway’s Lisa Shriver and
award-winner Johnny Rodgers supplies music direction and supervision,
arrangements and orchestrations.
The show opened with a
sold-out premiere run in Ft. Lauderdale in the fall of 2010, where it was
named “Best Musical” by the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.
Motherhood the Musical has delighted audiences in
cities across the U.S. including Tampa; Fort Worth, Texas; Richardson, Texas;
Atlanta, and Philadelphia. The production is currently on a 65-city tour in
Australia.
In addition to Atlanta, the 2012 production will ‘arrive’ in
Huntsville, AL.; Chicago; Mesa, AZ.; and Providence. Although it is a national
production, the 90-minute musical features a local cast in each
city.
“Motherhood the
Musical is the rare show that audiences really relate to – they
actually can see themselves on stage through the cast’s portrayal of common
experiences all moms have,” says Kathi Glist, Motherhood the
Musical producer and co-founder of GFour Productions. “From being
pregnant to succumbing to driving a minivan, from facing an empty nest to
anxiously awaiting one’s first grandchild, the musical really covers the entire
wonderful, crazy journey of being a mom. Anyone who has ever been a parent --
fathers as well as mothers -- can relate to this show.”
Motherhood the
Musical will play March 16 – May 20 with shows on Tuesdays – Saturdays
at 8 PM, and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2 PM. Tickets are available
