Kander & Ebb's musical THE RINK (book by Terrence McNally)is all about the history of a strained mother/daughter relationship.
And you must admit, the Witch/Rapunzel relationship in INTO THE WOODS is prety damned dysfunctional!

You're right about Rabbit Hole being about a boy who dies, but there is a troubled central relationship in that play between a mother and daughter (played on Broadway by Tyne Daly and Cynthia Nixon) so I think it does qualify as the kind of play the initial poster was looking for.
