DADS! The Musical is an uproariously funny and poignant look at three first-time dads, suddenly unemployed, who choose to stay at home and take charge of fatherhood. DADS! is witty, clever, relevant, and shows the nature of a changing society, where social viewpoint and entertainment meet. The show features loveable characters, hilarious scenes, four puppet babies, and high-energy musical numbers. This is a show not to be missed!
