Wolfe, Additional Lyrics by Sari Miller.
Synopsis
Performed by four women of varying ages and ethnicities,
So Happy I Could Scream! transports the audience through
the twists and turns, delights and dilemmas, rewards and
regrets of parenting. From losing control with a tantruming
toddler to panicking at the prospect of a parent-teacher
conference – from staving
off unwanted child-rearing
advice to struggling to
accept the choices of
grown children – from
trying to rekindle long-lost
marital passion to trying to
shield kids from the
heartbreak of divorce – this
musical celebrates the
transformative moments
of motherhood with humor
and insight.
Featuring an upbeat mix of contemporary song styles,
scenes and monologues, So Happy I Could Scream! will
appeal to parents of all ages – and the children who love
them.
