Production notes

Molly O! has millions of adoring fans, one older brother, one purple limousine with a sunroof, one best friend to keep her grounded, multiple gold records and a strictly enforced bedtime. For better or worse, Molly O! sees things differently from you or me. She's 8, and she's got the mouth...

Molly's musical family: Eddie is Molly's cousin... and a killer triple-jointed guitar player. Nub has been everywhere, and Yo-yo is the best drum-playing kangaroo this side of Sydney.
