“ I've taught musical theatre production classes for elementary students. I have met these moms. If they were as funny as Debbie and Terri, I might have lost less hair and sleep in the process of dealing with them!

That said, this play is simultaneously realistic and heightened, with awful characters you'll absolutely love to hate - like everything I love about 'Dance Moms,' but full of perfect one-liners that had me CACKLING. It could have remained a character study, but it surprised me by ending on a very human, emotional note. These dance moms are still moms first! Fantastic! ”

“ The helicopter parents, this is so well done. Completely nailed. Relatable as we've all seen them whether it be at the spelling bee, the science fair, or the soccer game. Absolutely loved! ”

“ Hayet's short play perfectly captures the toxicity and viciousness of helicopter parents -- it's sad, it's pathetic, but it's a hoot for those who don't have kids (like me :) Mothers in the audience may not be Stage Moms, maybe they're Dance Moms or just moms that talk smack when the rehearsal doors are closed - and they might see themselves in these characters. Check out this comedy, and consider it for your comedy showcase. ”
