| Call the babysitter, grab a drink, and treat yourself to That Parenting Musical. Ember Productions presents the New York premiere of That Parenting Musical, starting performances September 4 at Theatre Row, Theatre 3 (410 W. 42nd Street, NYC). Opening night is Sept. 12 at 7PM. Tickets are now on sale at TheatreRow.org or by calling the box office, 212-714-2442 ext. 45. 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 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." The cast of That Parenting Musical features Natalie Bourgeois (A Chorus Line at New York City Center Encores!, Pretty Woman the Musical 1st National Tour), Max Crumm (Grease , Disaster! ), Vidushi Goyal (In The Trenches at Mizel Arts and Culture Center), McKenna OGrudnik (Weekend Comedy at Hunterdon Hills Playhouse), Brian Owen (Dog Man: The Musical, Off-Broadway) and Dwayne Washington (¡Figaro!). Mia Gentile (Kinky Boots) and Branden R. Mangan (Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, National Tour) are the company understudies. "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." That Parenting Musical features a Scenic Design by Tim Mackabee; Costume Design by Tina McCartney; lighting design by Alan C. Edwards; Sound Design by Jessica Paz; and Properties by Brendan McCann and Music Arrangements by Graham and Kristina Fuller and Dan Graeber. Dan Graeber is Music Director and Orchestrator.
