In the Trenches: A Parenting Musical Comedy, LIVE from Feinstein's 54 Below!
An open-air pavilion performance livestreamed on the big screen.
Join two bleary-eyed young parents as they trudge through the trenches and discover their post-baby identities. In an evening of new-parent Greatest Hits, a foul-mouthed toddler zeroes in on “The Most Dangerous Thing In The Room,” tap dancing towards bleach, knives, and tide pods; a chronically-overlooked younger sibling sings the “Second Child Blues”; a mom trio celebrates yoga pants in an R&B love song to the “official mom uniform”; Dad discovers he’s not the “ice-cream and movie-night cool parent” but rather the “do your homework real parent” amid a kiddo sugar-crash; and Mom retrieves a sticky, hair-covered pacifier from the floor of a LaGuardia bathroom while her baby screams bloody murder and her flight boards without her.
Sold-out audiences have called this “potty-mouthed parent party” “relatable,” “hilarious,” “laugh-til-you-cry,” and “heartwarming.” The score features a wide array of musical styles, from doo-wop to hip hop, Gilbert and Sullivan patter to 80’s rock, Motown to musical theater, and more, “all delivered with power and finesse.” Similar to I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change, The Book of Mormon, and Avenue Q, the show contains adult language and humor and is a perfect date night or moms’ night out.
