Photo Flash: Broadway At Birdland Presents MOMMIE DEAREST: THE MUSICAL

By: A.A. Cristi Jun. 12, 2019

The Broadway at Birdland concert series was thrilled to present Christina Crawford's "Mommie Dearest: The Musical" in concert on Monday, June 10. The cast featured Tina Scariano as Christina and Dorothy Bishop as Joan, with an all-star cast. Drew Wutke accompaned on piano, with Daniel Shevlin on cello.

Composer David Nehls and Christina Crawford have created the musical (based on the 40th anniversary edition of the memoir), complete with two New York readings directed by Joe Barros. The musical, with a book by Christina Crawford, Music by David Nehls and lyrics by Crawford and Nehls, tells the courageous story of brother and sister struggling to survive the abuse by a powerful sociopathic Hollywood woman against all odds, with neither power nor money of their own. The event is presented by Mommie Dearest Musical Development LLC, and Ebner-Page Productions.

The Broadway at Birdland takes place every week on the stage of the historic music room, located at 315 West 44 Street in NYC.
