LOVED IT!!! Whether you have a harmonious relationship with your mother or not and whether you are a first-generation American or not, this show will make you laugh and perhaps even get a bit misty. It is funny, dynamic and poignant. We quoted some of the funniest lines to my husband's mother who was watching our kids when we got home and she laughed so hard she had tears in her eyes. When it comes back in the fall, this show is a must-see for anyone who has contemplated their relationships with their parents and is interested in finding the humor in the love.

Very well written and acted .. funny and sensitive. It brought back memories of my friends and their moms. Being Italian-American, I can relate, even though my mom was born here. A great play for a night out with a girlfriend, and of course, Italian food must follow!
