Motherhood the Musical: Return Sydney Season
Return season by popular demand at the Everest Theatre, Seymour Centre from Thursday 13th to Saturday 15th October, 2011
Motherhood the Musical: The good the bad and the laundry is BACK by popular demand at the Seymour Centre for a strictly limited season of 5 performances only from October 13 -15. This hilarious, insightful musical is about the lives and friendships of four very different mums sharing the highs and lows, the joys and stresses of motherhood. There's Barb, the over-worked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five, Brooke a lawyer, who works too much and barely sees her kids, Trisha a single mum who's struggling to balance work, her family and her divorce and finally Amy, the naïve young woman about to have her first child.
The show has been on tour nationally since opening in Melbourne in February and is touring extensively to the end of the year including playing for a substantial season at the Adelaide Festival Centre in November/ December. Return seasons are already booked for the Seymour Centre Sydney (Oct 13-15) as well as 8 shows at the Athenaeum in Melbourne (November 23-27) plus seasons at Glen Street, Newcastle, Wollongong and many other regional centres around the country. The show will continue touring extensively through 2012 across the length and breadth of Australia.
