It's the biggest party of the summer and it's happening at Geva! Girls Night The Musical kicks off a month of dancing in the aisles on July 6!
Five thirty and forty-something friends relive their past on a wild karaoke night out. They have been friends since their teens and have all been through their fair share of heartache and tragedy, joy and success. Together they remember their earlier years (big hair, bad prom dates, breakups and more), celebrate their current lives and look to the future...all the while belting out their favorite girlie karaoke anthems such as "I'm Every Woman," "Say a Little Prayer," "Dancing Queen" and more!
The idea behind the show began in 2003 in the kitchen of
Louise Roche, a mother of three in Milton Keynes, a city about 50 miles outside of London. She had recently been out with a group of friends to see a musical featuring a popular TV star. She looked around the theatre and saw that they audience was mostly made up of women She thought "I could do this...I could write a show that lots of women would enjoy watching."
In true, JK Rowling style she did just that. She went home and wrote Girls Night - a musical comedy about a group of friends who relive the past on a wild night out at a karaoke club.
To date, Girls Night has done three UK national tours, featuring well known TV names. In the US, it has been running Off-Broadway for nearly a year (extended from its original four month run) and is currently playing at the Hollywood Grand in Vegas. It has played the US from Des Moines and Buffalo to Cleveland and Newark and now makes its debut in Rochester.
Think of it as "Sex in the City" meets "Desperate Housewives" with a little Mamma Mia thrown in. Our Group Hotline at the theatre has been abuzz since tickets went on sale with some performances nearly sold out!
