In order for Liza (Melissa D'Agostino, Six Days to Die, Tactical Girls) to cope with the impending death of her estranged mother Rosa (Wendie Malick, Shrinking, Hot in Cleveland, Just Shoot Me), she retreats to a 70's variety show in her mind. There the all-powerful host is her own mother, Rosa, who leads a cast of people from Liza's past and present, all a jumble in her mind. Rosa hosts the show in Liza's head with all the bravado and pizazz of Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, and Rosemary Clooney. She sings, and dances, and yuks it up, all in Liza's imagination. Scene by scene, song by song, Liza works through another part of their past in an attempt to see her mother in real life without losing herself in the process.
Starring Wendie Malick (Shrinking, Hot in Cleveland, Just Shoot Me), MOTHER OF ALL SHOWS is a mother/daughter musical traumedy about a woman who slips into a 70s variety show in her mind whenever she has to confront her mother.
