“While in the trenches of parenting two young kiddos, we learned very quickly that our experiences – as ridiculous, hilarious, heartwarming, and gross as they could be – were shared by so many others out there as to be near-universal”, say Graham and Kristina Fuller, creators of That Parenting Musical. “Those parents were longing for a night out, particularly a comedic experience shared with other parents experiencing a similar life stage. It was out of this inspiration and relatability that That Parenting Musical was born. The show celebrates (and sometimes, bemoans) the unique joys, hilarity, and zaniness involved in parenting tiny humans.”
