How many musicals have mother/daughter story lines?
Off the top of my head I can only think of
Rose and Louise in GYPSY *The best*
Madame Armfeldt and Desiree
Desiree and Fredrika
in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC
ANNA and Angel in THE RINK
Edith Bouvier Beale and Little Edie Beale in GREY GARDENS
Margaret and Clara in THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA
Carmen and Elaine/Bambi in CURTAINS. I think this counts. Though the whole story line between the two is more of a subplot.
I know there's lots more. What else? I'm just curious because I find a lot of those shows/relationships very touching.

There's always SPRING AWAKENING...if that underdeveloped aspect of the story can even be considered a relationsup.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 11:26pmI think Mrs. MacAfee and Kim in BYE BYE BIRDIE kind of counts.

How to properly use its/it's:
Its is the possessive. It's is the contraction for it is...

BERNARDA ALBA
CAROLINE, OR CHANGE (One of my favorite mother/daughter relationships in a musical)
SHOW BOAT
And in a way SONG & DANCE where though the mom character doesn't appear, she plays a significant role in Emma's decisions, journey, and failures.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

In Avenue Q Kate Monster and Brian's wife who's name I can't remember have some aproximation of a mother daughter relationship.
Bernarda Alba is all about mother daughter relationships.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 11:41pmI think "Carrie" touches on that somewhat.

Posted: 6/12/07 at 11:44pmYeah...CARRIE is a stretch, but I suppose it still touches on the subject enough to merit a mention.

Jimmy, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? It's almost 9 PM!

Posted: 6/12/07 at 11:50pmI don't agree with Carrie being a stretch. It is the core relationship in the show. Unlike other show mentioned so far where the mother/daughter relationship is secondary. Including the show I mentioned, Lolita, my Love.

Posted: 6/13/07 at 12:28ami think the more obivous choice is Bernarda Alba...Bernarda and her mother and bernarda and her five daughters.
