Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be performing on the Great Bright Way while balancing Parenthood?!!! Little throwback to an fABBAulous web series documentary entitled ON BROADWAY – WITH KIDS.
Released in 2012 from CafeMom Studios, this 10 episode series followed the lives of 4 members of the Broadway company of MAMMA MIA! as they balance working at the legendary long running smash hit plus being a parent. You will get the ultimate VIP All Access pass to not only just like 8 times a week during the show’s then-run at the Winter Garden Theatre. You will also experience each company member’s day-in-the-life from waking up in the morning, getting their child ready for school, doing their morning errands, and doing the show every night.
In the documentary it follows the following company members….
Jennifer Perry – at the time raising her 4 year old son while making audiences laugh every night in a scene-stealing performance as DYNAMO “Rosie”,
David Beach – at the time caring for his 3 1/2 year old daughter while playing possible father “Harry Bright” in the show
Monica Kapoor – at the time raising her then-2 year old daughter while appearing in the Ensemble every night (plus understudying “Ali” and “Lisa”),
and
Irene Bunis – at the time raising raising 2 teenagers while serving as MAMMA MIA’s wardrobe supervisor.
The original Broadway production of MAMMA MIA! ran for 14 years and 5,773 performances.
We applaud anyone who works on Broadway doing 8 SHOWS A WEEK while still having that healthy balance of being a great parent, husband, and caring for their families.
How powerful is that?!!
