Actress Lucia Spina, who plays the lead role of "Rose," shared her thoughts on coming back to the theater scene after 18 years since she last performed at the Marriott Theater.

"It's been a remarkable, bubbly, and overwhelming experience," Spina said. "To do this role at home, at the Marriott, is extremely special."

Spina shared why this musical resonates to mothers and families in general.
