The New York Musical Theatre Festival and Popjam Productions present the North American premiere of MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE - a musical comedy that tells the truth about marriage and motherhood - with book and lyrics by Australian singer, songwriter and reality TV star Amity Dry, music by Amity Dry and Mark Simeon Ferguson and directed by Hilary Adams. MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE is an official selection of the 2013 New York Musical Theatre Festival and plays The Studio Theatre at The Pershing Square Signature Center (480 West 42nd Street) in Manhattan through July 27! Check out a first look below!
Like a musical "Sex and the City" meets "Desperate Housewives," MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE follows four best girlfriends as they navigate life's trials and tribulations and discover marriage is nothing like the movies, motherhood can push your limits and no one makes you laugh like your friends do. Both a rioterous comedy and insightful drama, this refreshing new musical offers a raw and honest reflection on the challenges modern day women face trying to 'do it all.'
The creative and design team behind MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE is: Amity Dry (Book, Music & Lyrics), Mark Simeon Ferguson (Music, Assistant Music Director, Pianist), Hilary Adams (Director), Stephen Purdy (Music Director), Janell Berte (Costume Designer), Kathleen McDonough and Kevin Lee Allen (Scenic Designers).
The cast of MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE will feature Happy McPartlin (who recently made her Broadway debute in "Hands on a Hardbody"), Cicily Daniels (Broadway credits include: "The Little Mermaid," "Rent"), Mollie Vogt-Welch (last seen on Broadway in "A Tale of Two Cities") and Vanessa Lemonides ("Jewtopia," "Garbo and Me").For more information on MOTHER, WIFE AND THE COMPLICATED LIFE visit www.motherwifemusical.com.
