Mom!
(formerly titled So Happy I Could Scream!)
Book by Judy Freed, Music by Sari Miller, Lyrics by Randi
Wolfe, Additional Lyrics by Sari Miller.
Synopsis
Performed by four women of varying ages and ethnicities,
Mom! 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, Mom! will appeal to parents of all
ages – and the children who love them.
