A joyful remedy for every exhausted and devoted parent!
Theatrical soprano Anna-Lee Robertson is joined by pianist Mark Jones for her latest one-woman show, After Birth – a cabaret.
Anna-Lee Robertson is on hiatus from charming musical theatre audiences across Australia and the UK to pursue her latest adventure: motherhood. After Birth – a cabaret is Robertson’s irreverent and affectionate account of the trials and tribulations of her life as a new mum. Robertson captures all the bittersweet emotions of new parenthood, weaving her own hilarious tales of baby-wrangling through a perfectly curated and gloriously sung collection of timeless songs from Bernstein, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Sondheim and others that pay testament to the deepest of love affairs: the one between mother and child.
After Birth takes the audience on a rollicking – albeit sleep-deprived – journey through the alternately gruelling and euphoric early years of parenting. Her take is an honest, self-deprecating, and witty one; underscored by the story of a mother’s abiding love for her child, which can only be effectively captured in music.
