Motherhood the Musical

Motherhood the Musical

From the Producers of Menopause The Musical® comes a brand new show, Motherhood the Musical!

A baby is just the beginning. Motherhood is for life …

It’s the joyous journey and loving look at the blessings and perils of being a Mom. It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find that there’s laundry at the top. It’s discovering how powerful your love can be and how quickly they grow up. It’s helping them find their way and not losing yours. It’s about laughing and crying, craziness and calm, smiles and tears … and all before breakfast.

Featuring the hilarious Top 10 Billboard Comedy Hit “ The Kids Are Finally Asleep”, the rousing “Costco Queen” and the tender “I’m Danny’s Mom”, this hysterical and poignant four woman musical is a must see for anyone who is, has,  or knows a Mom. It will remind you that it’s not just about Motherhood … it’s about you. For the official website, visit motherhoodthemusical.com.
