New Bondi Theatre Company Staging MOTHERHOOD THE MUSICAL

A new independent theatre company will stage the hit comedy Motherhood the Musical at the Bondi Pavilion Theatre this coming August.

The musical will headline the inaugural season of The Bondi Theatre Company, that will also include five cabaret acts.

Producer David Spicer said " I'm keen to introduce high quality entertainment by emerging and established artists to this iconic part of Sydney. The Bondi Pavilion Theatre remains a wonderful intimate venue. A visit also offers the excitement of its famous balcony view of the beach."

Motherhood the Musical is about four women who share their insights, challenges and pleasures at a baby shower.

When it last toured Australia Arts Hub described the musical as "a hoot ", Stage Whispers Magazine applauded its "insightful tongue in cheek lyrics and foot tapping rhythms.", and in the US, Variety described it as "an entertaining night of chuckles and tears."

In 90 minutes of fun, the audience get a peek into the powerful friendship of Amy, a soon-to-be first-time mum; Brooke, a hard-working lawyer; Barb, a stressed-out mother of five; and Tasha, a single mother seeking to balance work, her family and her divorce.

Motherhood the Musical was written by the award-winning singer/songwriter, Sue Fabisch. Among the 20 original songs are the Top 10 Billboard Comedy Hit "The Kids Are Finally Asleep," the rousing "Costco Queen," the show-stopping "Grannyland" and the tender "I'm Danny's Mom."

The cast comprises Rebecca Spicer as Amy and Manon Gunderson-Briggs as Brooke - who both recently graduated from NIDA's Diploma of Music Theatre course and AIM's Bachelor of Music. Dynamic opera singer Chloe Angel plays Tasha. Experienced Theatre Director Christie Koppe plays Barb.

Twenty five years of motherhood gives Director Ruth Fingret an insight into the nuances and not so subtleties of this musical. The Musical Director Mary Lennon and Choreographer Kayla French are both graduates of AIM's Bachelor of Music - majoring in Music Theatre.

There are eight performances from the 17th until the 26th of August. Adult tickets from just $30.
