Cabaret artist Sarah Boone brings Mom Before Dad: A Young Woman of the Greatest Generation back to Theatre Jacksonville as part of Sarah's Silver Sessions (2/7-2/9), a weekend of 3 amazing shows to celebrate Sarah Boone's 25 years of leadership at Theatre Jacksonville! The show premiered two years ago and has enjoyed celebrated performances in New York City, Los Angeles and Colorado. Sarah will share the stage for two performances with Musical Director Michael Cuschieri, barbershop quartet On Point, and the Mom Before Dad Band.
"As rhythms of Big Bands swelled, and tears from World War II fell, there lived a young woman, unlike any other, as I unlocked her diary and discovered my mother."
Between the pages of a faded handwritten diary, Sarah learned of the joys, heartbreaks, passions and the everyday perseverance of someone she knew...but long before she knew her... Her Mom!
Now travel back with Sarah in a memory-filled musical show that hails and regales the greatest generation...as told through the diary entries, letters and moments of Sarah's favorite greatest-generation heroine. In this touching program of song and inspiring word, this daughter's love letter to her remarkable mother captures the era when ordinary people achieved the extraordinary...believed in the right thing to do...and exchanged "goodbyes" with "We'll Meet Again"...
The show is directed by Jean Tait, with orchestrations by Eugene Gwozdz, script and multimedia concept by Sarah Boone, multimedia design by Rich Conner.
"A wonderfully enjoyable experience" - BroadwayWorld
