Babymother was the first Black British musical and captures the British Caribbean dancehall cultural scene of London in the late 90s.
A single mother determined to make it as a singer puts together an all girl reggae group named Neeta, Sweeta, & Nastie with her friends. The acting is as ropey as hell, the outfits the women wear are straight out of a drag show (did they REALLY wear outfits like that in the 90s?) and more than once you'll want to kick Anita for abandoning her kids. But good god it's entertaining! Plus food pop-up (and potential for singalong if you are in the mood!) Expect a riotous night of fun, singing and eating!
