NEW YORK—“It’s a child’s world; the adults just live in it” is the audience’s first impression of a set staged as a giant kids’ playhouse, awash in bright colors, crayon scribblings and drawings on the walls, with lots of toys, stuffed animals, and picture books. The trials the new parents face, and what they must leave behind as they attempt to adjust to their new roles, form the basis for this mostly entertaining show “That Parenting Musical,” now at Theatre Row.
While at times the show feels more like a revue rather than a complete musical, creators Graham and Kirstina Fuller (who together wrote the book, music and lyrics) present a series of sketches and songs on the subject of parenting, with perspectives offered by both adult and child characters.
