New Musical Rated P for Parenthood Will Play Off-Broadway's Westside Theatre in 2012

The new musical Rated P for Parenthood will make its New York premiere at off-Broadway's Westside Theatre on February 8, 2012, with an official opening on February 26. Directed by Jeremy Dobrish, the show features book and lyrics by Sandy Rustin and music and lyrics by Dan Lipton and David Rossmer. No casting has been announced.

Rated P for Parenthood chronicles every stage of modern-day parenting, from conception to college. A cast of four takes the audience through the ups and downs of child rearing – from the sublime to the ridiculous – in a series of comic and musical vignettes.

"Comedy greats will tell you to 'write what you know,'" Rustin said in a statement. "So when, in a postpartum haze, I accidentally sent a photo of my newborn son (and my own vagina) to everyone I know - naturally I wrote a show about it. This show is a quilt of parenting moments - the hilarious, the heartbreaking, and the humiliating - all based on real life moments from me, my family, and my friends."

Rated P for Parenthood first premiered at the South Orange Performing Arts Center in May 2011.
