Area Attractions: That Parenting Musical

 

Ember Productions presents the New York premiere of That Parenting Musical, now starting performances at Theatre Row, Theatre 3 (410 W. 42nd Street, NYC). Opening night was Sept. 12 at 7PM. Tickets are now on sale at TheatreRow.org   Dive into the hilarious, chaotic world of a new Mom and Dad with That Parenting Musical. Laugh along as two sleep-deprived parents navigate their new reality, juggling a danger-prone toddler, an overlooked younger sibling, and the ever-present "official mom uniform"—yoga pants. This new musical explores the joys, challenges, and absurdities of parenthood, and so much more.   Written by real-life Mom and Dad team, Graham and Kristina Fuller, and directed and choreographed by Jen Wineman (Dog Man The Musical, FIVE: The Parody Musical), the show features an original score with songs like 'The Most Dangerous Thing in the Room,' 'Toddler Travel Travesty,' and 'Second Child Blues' that will make you say, “that’s so us.” "While in the trenches of parenting two young kiddos, we learned very quickly that our experiences - as ridiculous, hilarious, heartwarming, and gross as they could be - were shared by so many others out there as to be near-universal", say Graham and Kristina Fuller, creators of That Parenting Musical. "Those parents were longing for a night out, particularly a comedic experience shared with other parents experiencing a similar life stage. It was out of this inspiration and relatability that That Parenting Musical was born. The show celebrates (and sometimes, bemoans) the unique joys, hilarity, and zaniness involved in parenting tiny humans." Following developmental stagings in CenterStage Theater Company, Louisville, CO (2019); Elaine Wolf Theatre in Denver, CO (2019); and 54 Below in NYC (2022); That Parenting Musical had its premiere staging at Town Hall Arts Center, Littleton, CO in 2023, under its original title, In The Trenches.   LISTINGS INFORMATION: That Parenting Musical begins performances Fri.
