Twenty-eight years later, Cyrano’s Theatre Company is revisiting the joy, heartache and absurdity of motherhood in 'The Mommy Dance,' Anchorage playwright Jill Bess’ autobiographical work of musical comedy.
Linnéa Hollingsworth plays the role of Jill in Cyrano's 2022 production of"The Mommy Dance."
The original material was drawn from journals Bess kept in the early ‘90s, when her son was young and she was pregnant with her second child. Bess has had a 30-year theater career in Alaska. Now in her 60s and recently retired from teaching theater at East High School, she knew she wanted to cast another actress as the young mother when she was approached by Teresa Pond, producing artistic director at Cyrano’s Theatre Company, about reviving the show.
Topics include a meditation on body changes: “Mammaries,” sung to the tune of “The Way We Were,” which features a truly show-stopping brassiere. In “Labor Time,” an enormously pregnant-looking Hollingsworth performs a lengthy tap dance routine complete with a top hat and cane.The crowd-pleasing closing number of the first act is “The Gross Song.
