Join Arizona Broadway Theatre's Associate Artistic Director and host Kurtis Overby along with eight of ABT's past leading ladies in a celebration of moms everywhere. Friday's line-up includes:

• Ariana Valdes (Mother Superior in "The Sound of Music")

• Carolyn McPhee ("Elf: The Musical")
• Hannah Bentley (Fantine in "Les Miserables")

"Broadway's long history has given us many memorable 'mom roles,'" said Cassandra Klaphake, artistic producer, in a statement. "From Mother in 'Ragtime' and Fantine in 'Les Miserables', to Miss Hannigan in 'Annie' and Morticia Addams in 'The Addams Family', motherly figures and the talented female actors who've portrayed them have provided Broadway audiences with countless unforgettable performances over the years. Mother's Day [weekend] seems the perfect opportunity to highlight some of these strong, passionate and powerful women!"
