Benanti takes the stage to share her hilarious, heartfelt and sometimes brutally honest takes on motherhood, people pleasing and the joys of aging. Blending side-splitting storytelling with original songs, New York Times Critic’s Pick Nobody Cares is a love letter to recovering people pleasers, mothers and anybody working on themselves.<\/p>\n

Nobody Cares is created by Laura Benanti<\/a> with songs co-written by Todd Almond<\/a> and direction by Annie Tippe<\/a>. The Steppenwolf presentation marks the first stop on a national tour for the project following a summer run at London\u2019s Underbelly Soho this July, with further stops to be announced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
