[Review] Super Mommy deftly tackles family and social issues through compelling honesty and heartwarming humour - The Resorts World Sentosa Blog

Working parents who can’t leave work behind even after extended office hours. A young child who spends more time with his foreign domestic helper and feels distanced from his parents. Mistrust between domestic helpers and their employers.

With all these ‘dramas’ already playing out around us, perhaps even within our own households, why should anyone pay to watch Super Mommy the musical?

The answer lies in how the musical does a realistic portrayal of these elephants in the room with wit and humour, minus the sugarcoating. This underscores the simple honesty that makes Super Mommy so compelling to watch.

There isn’t a moment of boredom throughout the show. The pace is snappy as it dishes out one familiar scenario after another, tugging at our self-consciousness and tickling our tear ducts while doing so. And thanks to the mostly experienced cast that elevate the compelling storyline into an entertaining caricature of reality.

Laughter, tears and self-reflection. Super Mommy is probably a timely reminder that it’s not too late to re-evaluate the priorities in our lives, especially people who matter the most to us.
