"To say I am proud of this show is an understatement" Paulini said in a statement. "Ever since Wendy and Christopher and I premiered this show back in 2011, this show has taken on a life of it's own. From Provincetown to New York, audiences have embraced us in a way I could have never imagined. I am so grateful to all our new family members; Lilli, Sarah, Steven and of course Erik are all remarkable talents we are so lucky to have had join us on this part of our journey. While this may be the end of our incredible 17 month New York chapter, I look very forward to what lies on the horizon for Mama."
