THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS to Celebrate Fleet Week with Special Performance on the Intrepid
THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS is set to celebrate Fleet Week 2018 with a special medley from the musical smash this Sunday, May 27th at noon on the Intrepid. Admission is free. Due to overwhelming demand, the Off-Broadway hit recently put a new block of seats on sale through September 5th. Initially set to run to the end of 2017, this marks the second extension for Dorothy Marcic's THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS, which opened October 27th to unanimous rave reviews.
THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS isn't just for the girls! This "fabulous, heart stopping" new musical (Times Square Chronicles) looks at the role of women over the past 100+ years through iconic popular song hits. From the sad laments of fragile female victims ("As Long as He Needs Me") to the angry anthems of women who are mad as hell and not going to take it anymore ("I Am Woman" and "You Don't Own Me"), THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS is an electrifying celebration of American women that's proven to thrill men, women and everything in between!
Under the direction of Tamara Kangas Erickson, THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS stars Traci Bair (CIRQUE DREAMS, PANDORA'S BOX), Aneesa Folds (RAGTIME, SISTAS), Jana Robbins (Broadway's GYPSY, THE TALE OF THE ALLERGIST'S WIFE, CRIMES OF THE HEART), and Haley Swindal (Broadway's JEKYLL & HYDE, THE SECRET GARDEN at Lincoln Center), with music direction by Zachary Ryan.
Writer Dorothy Marcic also created the hit musical SISTAS, the longest-running African American musical in New York history, now in its seventh smash year. Her first musical RESPECT (the genesis for THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS) played in over 70 U.S. cities. Dr. Marcic is a professor at Columbia University, a former Fulbright Scholar and author of 15 books including MANAGING WITH THE WISDOM OF LOVE, RESPECT: WOMEN AND POPULAR MUSIC, LOVE LIFT ME HIGHER, and her new true-life thriller WITH ONE SHOT.
Presented by William Franzblau, THIS ONE'S FOR THE GIRLS currently plays Fridays at 8 pm and Saturdays at 2 pm. Special added 2 pm Wednesday matinees are set to begin June 13th at St. Luke's Theatre, 308 West 46 Street (just west of Eighth Ave.) Tickets are available through www.FortheGirlstheMusical.com or by calling 212-239-6200.
The Intrepid Museum is located on Manhattan's Pier 86, 12th Ave. & 46th St.
