Fabulous Family Outings - South Australia

 

Motherhood the Musical - Saturday 3rd December 8.00pm @ The Space Theatre, Adelaide Festival Centre

 

From the producers of the smash-hit Menopause The Musical® comes the Australian Premiere of an equally hilarious, musical journey about the lives and friendships of four very different mums sharing their humorous insights into the challenges of motherhood. There's Barb, an over-worked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five; Brooke, the lawyer, who works too much and barely sees her kids, Trisha, a single mum struggling to balance work, her family and her divorce and finally Amy, the naive young woman about to have her first child.

Having received rave reviews following its opening in October 2010 in the USA and the UK, this musical written by award-winning singer/songwriter Sue Fabisch, features 20 sensational songs including her Top 10 Billboard Comedy hit “The Kids Are Finally Asleep”. You'll love this joyous musical journey as it takes a loving and funny look at the blessings and the perils of being a Mum. This is all about laughing and crying, craziness and calm, smiles and tears, all wrapped up into 90 minutes of great musical entertainment. A must see for anyone who is, has, or knows a Mum.

This is an adult event only - Mums in particular are encouraged to come along (but you can bring the hubby too).

To book your tickets, please contact Margaret in the National Office on 1800 037 674.  Ticket prices TBA.
