Join these powerhouse performers on a hilarious and meaningful musical journey about their origins, friendships, careers, and becoming mamas themselves. For decades, they performed as teenagers on stage, now see the fully bloomed divas they’ve become in “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now.”

Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now!
7 / 10
There isn't much to look at beyond the stars; the barely-there set consists of faux vanities and a screen for vintage pics and silly Photoshops. But the show’s DIY aesthetic is part of its charm. And while the script can be pat, and the medleys messy, the solo numbers prove that all three are more versatile than the molds in which they tend to get cast. Bundy shines as a physical comedian and mimic—her Celine Dion impression could get her booked on Titanique—and Butler’s enchanting version of The Little Mermaid’s “Part of Your World” is a reminder that beyond her quirkiness and powerhouse pipes, she’s quite a moving actor. More than any individual performance, however, the show is notable for the women’s enviable camaraderie in a ruthless business that sometimes put them in competition with each other. You can't stop the BFFs!
CabaretMama I’m a Big Girl Now! is Just What the Musical Theatre Junkie Doctor Ordered
9 / 10
I was happy and excited when they returned to the main topic of this joyful cabaret show and sang a rousing, enlivening rendition of Hairspray‘s magnificent ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’. This is what we were all in attendance for, to watch three wildly and wickedly talented women sing their hearts out so we could forget our troubles and be happy, even if it only lasted the ninety minutes we spent with these talented souls at the New World Stages in New York City. Mama I’m a Big Girl Now! is exactly what the musical theatre junkie doctor ordered during these dark and upsetting days after the election, and I was reborn, taken back to the joy I felt every time I heard these ladies sing since 2003.
