"If “Menopause” can be a runaway musical success, then perhaps a pre-menopausal musical at Playwrights Theatre in Madison can too.It’s called “MoM A Rock Concert Musical.”
Because the script requires each of the women to be ace musicians, casting must have been a nightmare. But the result is a dream cast. As accomplished as these five women are as singers, they’re every bit as astonishing as musicians.
Bekka Lindstrom (Melissa) and Jane Keitel (Nancy) each play a mean guitar. Dana Loren McCoy (Ingrid) is terrific in assaulting her keyboard. Donna Jean Fogel (Karen) expertly plays a housewife who’s taking out her sexual frustration on her drum set. And while Stephanie Seskin (Catalina) can slap that bass, she can also play saxophone and flute, too. "
