People might imagine entering a Broadway theatre and seeing a red velvet curtain, audiences on different floors, and a pit where the orchestra plays. That’s not the case at the [Circle in the Square Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/circle-in-the-square-theatre), particularly for [*Just in Time*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/show/42905-just-in-time-on-broadway), the new [Jonathan Groff](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jonathan-groff)-led musical...

Happy Mother's Day! Getting your mom a Mother's Day gift is always a good idea, but an even better idea is getting her an experience — something you and your mom — or your grandma, or your aunt, or all the mother figures in your life! — can enjoy together and make a lifelong memory. A Broadway show is a great way to do that.

There are Broadway shows to suit all kinds of tastes in entertainment: Get your mom tickets to a fun musical featuring songs she grow up with, or laugh and cry together at...

Alicia Keys's musical *Hell's Kitchen* is a mother/daughter story above all else. It's about a 17-year-old named Ali and her overprotective single mother, Jersey, loosely inspired by Keys and her own mother. Throughout the show, the headstrong Ali learns to accept her mother's tough love, and Jersey learns not to hurt others in the name of protecting Ali.

[New York Theatre Guide's critic wrote](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/hells-kitchen-broadway-review-alicia-keys), "*Hell's Kitchen* depicts mother/daughter relationships in all its love and messiness alike. (My mother, with whom I attended the show, teared up three separate times.)"

Conversations With Mother

Momma Rose is not just one of the most iconic mothers, but one of the most iconic characters, in Broadway theatre. Granted, she's not a perfect mom: She goes to extreme — sometimes obsessive and even cruel — lengths to make her two daughters famous. But the story of how all three women search for themselves, with and without each other, is one of the greatest mother-daughter tales of all time.

Among the many showstopping moments in *MJ The Musical*, about the life and artistry of Michael Jackson, is the number "I'll Be There." In the show, Jackson's mother sings it to remind him she'll always support him, even as the pressures of stardom and growing up increase. The rest of the time, your mom can rock out to all the other Michael Jackson hits she may have listened to in her own youth.

*Six* is one of Broadway's best "girl's night" shows — so why can't that mean you and your mom? *Six* reimagines the six wives of Henry VIII as a girl group giving a concert, where they sing about their marriages — and themes like motherhood, childhood, and sisterhood — with pop flair. It's fun, it's energetic, and it's 80 minutes long, so your mom can get home early if she wants!

In this unofficial sequel to *Romeo & Juliet*, in which Juliet doesn't die, her nurse, Angelique, acts as a kind of mother figure. Angelique shepherds Juliet as she travels the world in search of new friends and new loves — and even stumbles into a romance of her own.

That storyline notwithstanding, *& Juliet* is a fun show packed with pop hits that your mom will enjoy grooving along to, like "I Want It That Way," "Oops!...I Did It Again," and "Since U Been Gone."
