Originally a Broadway hit in 1983, "Baby" garnered multiple Tony Award nominations, including Best Musical and Best Original Score. For decades, its intimate depiction of three couples facing the journey to parenthood has captivated audiences and theater companies alike. The 2021 Version breathes new life into the classic, updating the book and orchestrations to reflect today's sensibilities while keeping the heartfelt score and relatable characters that made the original a favorite.
"Baby (2021 Version)" offers a timely and honest examination of parenthood in a new era—exploring everything from morning sickness and hormone injections to the deeper existential questions that come with starting a family. This vulnerable, funny, and tender musical, from the acclaimed duo Richard Maltby, Jr. and David Shire, follows three diverse couples on a university campus as they navigate the impending arrival of a baby at different stages of their lives:
Danny and Lizzie, college students just beginning their adult lives, grapple with unexpected news.
Nicki and Pam, in their thirties, are determined to conceive and will do whatever it takes.
Alan and Arlene, empty-nesters looking forward to their last child graduating, find themselves back at the beginning after a night of unexpected passion.
Triad Pride Acting Company is dedicated to bringing diverse and engaging theatrical experiences to the community. "Baby (2021 Version)" perfectly aligns with our mission to entertain, enlighten, and enrich, all while fostering understanding and acceptance.
