In this musical comedy, two adult siblings push the responsibility of caring for their aging mother onto each other— before realizing that she has plans of her own.
Phoenix is a depressed children’s book author whose long-time girlfriend recently dumped her. Noah is a gambling-addicted, furniture salesman whose homelife is in shambles. The last thing this brother and sister pair want to do is take care of someone else. When they get the call that their mother nearly burned down their childhood home, they make the trip from LA to San Bernardino to check on her, all the while hoping that she isn’t losing her mind, and each wanting the other person to handle it if she is.
Better off with You tackles growing up, growing old, and parenting your own parents. This darkly comedic musical asks: what does it take to create a family and how do you keep one from falling apart?
