Kerrigan & Lowdermilk's THE MAD ONES Finds 'Mom' Off-Broadway

Broadway vet Leah Hocking, whose credits include Billy Elliott: The Musical, Hairspray and All Shook Up, rounds out the cast of The Mad Ones, a new musical featuring book, music & lyrics by Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk, and directed by Stephen Brackett.

Hocking, who plays the role of Beverly Brown (Samantha's mom), joins the previously announced Krystina Alabado, Emma Hunton, and Ben Fankhauser in the New York premiere.

Mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved...Samantha Brown balances on the edge of her future, car keys in hand. As she sits in the driver's seat, she faces a choice: will she follow in her mother's footsteps, or take the dare of her impetuous best friend and chart a new path?

This contemporary and compelling score from one of NYC's most exciting new songwriting teams immerses audiences in the complex inner life of a young woman on the brink of change. When every choice feels like life and death, how do you turn the key?
