Mommy Issues

Mommy Issues is a candid, comic cabaret of music and storytelling. With songs from The Great American Songbook, Contemporary Pop classics, and a sneak peak at their original musical, Audrey and Daniel explore family, fame and identity, with heartfelt moments wrapped in sequins and spotlights.

Audrey Landers and her son, Daniel Landers, proudly continue their family’s legacy as third- generation entertainers. Their creative partnership began early - Daniel joined Audrey onstage in her international concerts at just nine years old before forging his own path as a songwriter at eleven. Today, they collaborate as writers and producers across television, film, music, and stage. Audrey and Daniel are currently developing an irreverent comedy TV series written by Daniel, and a dark pop musical for film and stage, which Audrey and Daniel co-created and co -wrote and for which Daniel wrote and produced all of the songs.
