Motherhood the Musical®, a musical comedy highlighting the universal blessings and perils of being a mother, will debut in Philadelphia on Oct. 6 through Nov. 13 at the Society Hill Playhouse. Produced by the team who brought Menopause The Musical® to sold-out audiences around the world, Motherhood the Musical® will be performed in five cities across the U.S. in 2011: Tampa, Fla.; Fort Worth, Texas; Richardson, Texas; Atlanta and Philadelphia. While a national production, the 90-minute musical features a local cast in each city. The Philadelphia cast will include Ilona Ahearn as ‘Brooke,' Donnie Hammond as ‘Tasha,' Ellie Mooney as ‘Amy' and Suzanne Smart as ‘Barb.' The official press opening is Friday Oct. 14 at 8:00 pm.
"Motherhood the Musical® is the rare show that audiences not only relate to - they actually can ‘see' themselves on stage through the cast's portrayal of common experiences all moms have," said 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."
Following a successful sold-out premiere run in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., in fall 2010, where the show was named "Best Musical" by the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.For more information about the show, including ticket information and local cast bios, please visit www.motherhoodthemusical.com.Videos
