Mom! celebrates the twists and turns, delights and dilemmas, rewards and regrets of parenting. From losing control with a tantruming toddler to panicking at the prospect of a parent-teacher conference – from staving off unwanted child-rearing advice to struggling to accept the choices of grown children – from trying to rekindle marital passion to trying to shield kids from the heartbreak of divorce – this musical celebrates the humor and the terror of parenting.
