“It’s so wonderful to work with two women I not only love as friends and confidants, but who I admire for their talent and comedic timing. We have each other’s backs on stage as well as off. We opened Hairspray together as young women, sharing this truly extraordinary moment in Broadway history. We came up together, cheered each other on as we had subsequent successes, and have been a part of each other’s lives through so many of life’s transitions—even into motherhood. Our show will take you on that journey… a beautiful journey of following. We also wrote this together! Directed it together. Like three friends in the sandbox just having the best time.” —Laura Bell Bundy.

“It is an honor to join forces with these three incredible Broadway legends to produce a show that showcases their illustrious careers while celebrating motherhood and the power of female friendship.” —Kerry Butler.

“I haven’t been back on a NY stage since Hairspray! I am beyond excited to return with this incredibly personal show with Kerry and Laura Bell. This is such a passion project that we literally got together and wrote a show. Every time we have done it, we find new things and remember new stories! We all became mothers in very different ways! We celebrate motherhood and friendship. I love performing with such strong women. We made this show for ourselves out of love and joy. It has brought me back home to NY. I couldn’t be more grateful and excited to share it with everyone! Our lives have changed so much over the last 22 years, but when we are back on stage together, it is like time stood still… and we look exactly the same.” —Marissa Jaret Winokur.

“It is an honor to join forces with these three incredible Broadway legends to produce a show that showcases their powerhouse talents and illustrious careers while celebrating motherhood and the power of female friendship.” —Producer, Lisa Dozier Shacket.
