Tickets must be purchased 9 months in advance, but even then the exact starting date and time of the show is TBD and completely at the producer's discretion. (Will most likely be held between the hours of 1 and 4 A.M., or right when your partner is going on a business trip.)
Sing along to such famous parenthood classics as:
- "Whistle While You Clean Up Poop"

NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED
Roger from Philadelphia
"I was told this would be the most fulfilling experience of my life, but most of the show was just trying to locate half of a pair of shoes and telling people we were going to be late."

PARENTHOOD IS THE BEST
Christine from Seattle
"Two thumbs up and I would definitely go again! Although when I say I've already seen it 3 times, people usually raise an eyebrow and say 'Better you than me' or 'You know where those tickets come from, don't you?'"

EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER
Erica from Detroit
"Went from literally crying tears of boredom at the tedious parts to sobbing on my husband's shoulder because I didn't want it to end. This happened several times throughout the show."

VOCALS WERE AMAZING!!!
Kevin from New York City
"I've never heard anyone belt it out as long and as loud as the cast of this show. When I think about how they manage to do this same performance night after night... I'm absolutely dumbfounded."

CONFUSED
Jocelyn from San Antonio
"When I first heard about Parenthood: The Musical! I was really excited to see it. The concept of the show was dynamite, but the cast seemed to have little interest in following the script or the stage directions given to them. I had no clue what was going on. Perhaps they could give us some kind of manual at the start of the show??"
