IN THE TRENCHES: A PARENTING MUSICAL is Coming to Feinstein's/54 Below

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present the brand new parenting musical comedy In the Trenches: A Parenting Musical on July 13, 2022, at 7pm. The show won five BroadwayWorld 2020 Regional awards, including Best Production of a Musical of the Decade.

Join two bleary-eyed young parents as they trudge through the trenches and discover their post-baby identities. In an evening of new-parent Greatest Hits, a foul-mouthed toddler zeroes in on "The Most Dangerous Thing In The Room", tap dancing towards bleach, knives, and tide pods; a chronically-overlooked younger sibling sings the "Second Child Blues"; a mom trio celebrates yoga pants in an R&B love song to the "official mom uniform"; Dad discovers he's not the "ice-cream and movie-night cool parent" but rather the "do your homework real parent" amid a kiddo sugar-crash; and Mom retrieves a sticky, hair-covered pacifier from the floor of a LaGuardia bathroom while her baby screams bloody murder and her flight boards without her.

Sold out audiences have called this "potty-mouthed parent party" "relatable," "hilarious," "laugh-til-you-cry," and "heartwarming." The score features a wide array of musical styles, from doo-wop to hip hop, Gilbert and Sullivan patter to 80's rock, Motown to musical theater and more, "all delivered with power and finesse." Similar to I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change, Book of Mormon, and Avenue Q, the show contains adult language and humor and is a perfect date night or moms' night out.

Join the composers and the original cast and band of In the Trenches: A Parenting Musical for a concert-style performance of the show. Cast members Marcos Ospina, Vidushi Goyal, Valerie Igoe, and Scott Rathbun will be joined by frequent Feinstein's/54 Below contributor Jason SweetTooth Williams, playing the show's saucy-but-wise narrator. The show features book, music, and lyrics by real-life parents Graham Fuller and Kristina Fuller; is orchestrated, co-arranged and music directed by pianist Dan Graeber; is choreographed by Jessica Hindsley; and is directed by Robert Michael Sanders.
