Motherhood The Musical - Civic Theatre Ipswich

Having a baby is just the beginning...motherhood is for life. Motherhood The Musical is the joyous journey and loving look at the blessings and perils of being a mum at any age. It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find that there’s laundry at the top. It’s discovering how powerful your love can be and how quickly they grow up. It’s helping them find their way and not losing yours. It’s about laughing and crying, craziness and calm, smiles and tears . . . and all before breakfast.

Three weeks out from the birth of her first child, Amy is thrown a baby shower by her girlfriends — Barb, an over-worked, underpaid, stressed-out mother of five; Brooke, a hardworking lawyer who rarely sees her kids; and Trisha, a single mum who’s struggling to hold things together. Whether it’s dirty nappies and lazy husbands, or the difficult juggle of children and a career, this is a show that doesn’t shy away from ugly facts, but which is also quick to embrace the joys and triumphs of watching your children grow.

The original story, music and lyrics were written by the award-winning singer/songwriter Sue Fabisch. Among the 20 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. A feel-good celebration of the hard yakka that transforms a woman into a mum, Motherhood The Musical lays bare the many truths of parenthood: the good, the bad and the laundry.

Metro Hotel Ipswich International is inviting Ipswich locals and visitors to the city to spend the night with them on the first weekend of the Ipswich Festival, when the Ipswich City Orchestra holds their inaugural Prom Song event.

In the tradition of the great Proms of Albert Hall in London but with a true provincial Australian flavour, the orchestra will play everything from the music of Johann Strauss to Waltzing Matilda, with plenty of opportunities for the audience to clap and sing along to their favourite tunes.
