Your Mom is part of a family of bands trained by multi-instrumentalist guru David Hinson, through his music-learning program, Adult Music Club (AMC). You could power New York City from the energy in this room, and things are just getting started. The crowd is eclectic, more women than men, of ages ranging from early twenties to card-carrying AARP members.Īfter a brief sound check, LeBlanc belts out, “One, two, three, four!” A galloping ferocity of sound follows. The four sixty-something-year-old women on stage are ready to rip. It’s a Friday night at Phil Brady’s in Baton Rouge, and the place is packed. The band’s bassist, Dorothy LeBlanc, makes them herself-oatmeal chocolate chip, her mother’s recipe, she proudly announces over the mic. Your Mom passes out homemade cookies from a Tupperware container. Others use a light show, or pyrotechnics. Some bands set the mood with a fog machine. Go Bless America.(From left to right) Kay Lindsey, Dorothy LeBlanc, Debbie Roussel, and Sandy Brock are, collectively, Your Mom. As long as it isn’t Whoopi Goldberg, it doesn’t really matter who gets it. ‘We need to toss a conservative in there to balance the scales,” said Barron, “we’re honestly hoping Judge Jeannine Pirro will take on the role. They did, however, toss in some political diversity by giving the role of Sophia to Kevin Sorbo, who had to agree to play her non-binary. They’ve already caved a bit on the wokeness, with Bette Midler cast as Rose and Jane Fonda playing Blanche.

They may be much better off going with someone like Roseanne Barr or Patricia Heaton. The Dorothy character has to be a bit brazen and even a little unlikeable, but for the most part, the audience has to rally around her for the show to be successful.

“I won’t even consider Whoopi Goldberg,” he said, “she’s toxic on any set.” One thing casting director Joe Barron says he refuses to do is give in to “woke culture” and hand the role to someone on name recognition alone. So far, they’ve filled the roles for Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, but finding the perfect Dorothy has been a challenge. The reboot of “The Golden Girls” is set to start filming as soon as the show’s producers finish building the cast.
