For most of us, the idea of reliving high school is nothing short of a nightmare. When Romy and Michele are invited to their ten year high school reunion Michele envisions the whole experience as a fun road trip, while Romy, very reluctantly, agrees to go but only if they come up with something to impress their classmates. To this end the two hatch an outrageous scheme to totally re-invent themselves. With an ’80s and ’90s pop-inspired score, Romy & Michele: The Musical is an absolute feel-good joyride.
Cast and additional creative team will be announced at a later date.
Romy & Michele: The Musical is produced by Barry Kemp, Stephen Soucy, Peter Schneider and Laurence Mark with Showtown Productions serving as Executive Producer.
