Casting announced for new musical THE GOOD ENOUGH MUMS CLUB
Casting has been announced for the premiere production of The Good Enough Mums Club, a poignant and hilarious new musical based on women’s own stories of motherhood, which opens at Birmingham Hippodrome on 25 October, prior to an Autumn tour.
It is produced, written, directed and performed by mums, with the passionate team behind it spending the last decade bringing this production to fruition.
The cast of The Good Enough Mums Club is Rebecca Bernice Amissah (A Strange Loop, Daddy) as Michelle, Joanna Kirkland (Dear Evan Hansen, The Witches of Eastwick) as Bea, Amy Ross (Wicked, Heathers) as Sophie, Jade Samuels (Jumprov, MAWA) as Chantel and Belinda Wollaston as Esme (JUDY!, MAMMA MIA!) with Swings Gemma Atkins (MAMMA MIA!, Wicked) and Cartier Fraser (The Buddy Holly Story, The Best of Wham).
With a book and lyrics by Emily Beecher and music by Verity Quade and Chris Passey, The Good Enough Mums Club is directed by Sarah Meadows and Michelle Payne.
Not perfect? Join the club! From peeing on sticks to drooping tits, The Good Enough Mums Club is both a hysterical and heartbreaking show which shares the love and dispels the myths with enough wipes to mop the tears and clean away the snotty laughter.
When the Council threatens to close their local playgroup, five women thrown together by motherhood overcome their isolation, loneliness, judgement and perfectionism to discover that they’re stronger as a group than as individuals, and that sometimes, being good enough is best.
As previously announced, the Autumn 2023 tour will play in Birmingham, Chester, Norwich, Lincoln, Southampton, and Salford.
The Good Enough Mums Club welcomes children under 4 to its special relaxed baby & child friendly matinees (although if your child is at the stage where they repeat everything they hear, you might want to consider this as the show is quite sweary!). Evening performances are strictly for those 12+.
