"Miss You Like Hell" is her first opportunity to perform at TheatreSquared, where she says the intimate setting, having audience members only a few feet away from the performers, is unique for a musical. "We talk about being rafts, separate in the ocean, but Olivia says we aren't in separate boats, we're all in the ocean, all in this together," Caraballo says of the play.

Unless it's an unexpected one — with your mother — whom you haven't seen in years. "Miss You Like Hell" is a new musical at TheatreSquared that features a non- traditional mother-daughter duo, Beatriz and Olivia, as they reconnect while making their way across the country and meeting many people along the way. It opened at the beginning of the month and will run through July 10. When the curtain rises, the two have been estranged for a long time and are living on opposite sides of the country, but Beatriz (the mom) has been able to keep an eye on her teenage daughter Olivia through her blog. It's there that she sees something unusual that sets off all her maternal alarms. "Beatriz knows something is wrong and that it's not regular 'teen behavior,'" says Francisca Munoz, who plays Beatriz.

At the beginning, you might wonder whether Beatriz is just a bad mom who simply isn't there for her daughter but that, Munoz says, is just the start of the journey. Along the way, audiences will discover so much more that explains their estrangement. Not unlike a real-life road trip, you'll be sure to learn a lot about these
