Katie Finneran, who plays Lindsay's mother Joan, has been performing on Broadway since the 1990s and has even won two Tony Awards, including Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her role as Marge MacDougall in the 2010 Broadway revival of "Promises, Promises."
Finneran talked about her experience doing a musical comedy series in a March 21 interview with Movie Web. "What I love about our show is the musical moments are just sort of an extension of the acting, but with bigger feelings," she said. "And so many of us come from a Broadway background, that we just feel very at home in that world. And it's going to be really exciting to bring it to a whole new audience on the small screen."
