Max Crumm, currently starring in Off-Broadway's That Parenting Musical at Theatre Row, is taking over Playbill's Instagram October 5. Make sure you're following @playbill to follow along on a two-show day at the new musical.

That Parenting Musical officially opened its New York premiere September 12 after beginning previews September 4. Performances will continue through January 12, 2025. The work is written by a real-life parenting team, Graham and Kristina Fuller, who have reached into their own experiences to craft this show about two sleep-deprived parents navigating their new reality with both a newborn and a toddler. Jen Wineman (Dog Man The Musical) is directing and choreographing.

Crumm stars as Child 1, along with Natalie Bourgeois as Single Friend, Vidushi Goyal as Child 2, McKenna Ogrodnik as Mom, Brian Owen as Todd and Narrator, and Dwayne Washington as Dad. Understudies Mia Gentile and Branden R. Mangan round out the company. Casting is by Daryl Eisenberg of Eisenberg Casting.

The production features scenic design by Tim Mackabee, costume design by Tina McCartney, lighting design by Alan C. Edwards, sound design by Jessica Paz, props by Brendan McCann, arrangements by Graham and Kristina Fuller and Dan Graeber, and music direction and orchestrations by Graeber. Ellie Handel is production stage manager with Miranda Shaffer as assistant stage manager.

Previously titled In the Trenches, the musical received earlier developmental stagings at Louisville, Colorado's CenterStage Theater Company and Denver, Colorado's Elaine Wolfe Theatre, both in 2019. A concert performance followed at 54 Below in 2022, which was followed by a premiere staging at Littleton, Colorado's Town Hall Arts Center in 2023.

Ember Productions is presenting the Off-Broadway run, with Jen Sandler serving as executive producer. Visceral Entertainment is general managing.
