Off-Broadway musical brings laughs to Whitefish
Friday, November 13 promises to be a non-stop evening of fun and laughter for the ladies. Gather up your girlfriends and head to downtown Whitefish for “Ladies Night Out” kicking off at 5 p.m. with fabulous shopping opportunities and special treats, then make your way to the O’Shaughnessy Center as Whitefish Theatre Company presents “Girls Night: The Musical” at 8 p.m. This outrageous, feel-good comedy has been thrilling audiences world-wide and earning rave reviews from critics across North America, and is showing one night only.
Performed by a sensational Off-Broadway touring company straight from New York, “Girls Night: The Musical” is a touching and hilarious tell-it-like-it-is look at the lives of a group of 30-something gals who meet for a wild and outrageous “girl’s night out” at a karaoke bar. Among the characters are Carol the party girl, blunt tell-it-like-it-is Anita, Liza with her marital and eating issues, Kate the designated driver, and Sharon the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn’t resist tagging along. Described as “’Desperate Housewives’ meets ‘Mamma Mia’” (Applause Magazine), the ladies re-live their past, celebrate their present and look to the future, all set against an irresistible soundtrack of songs from the 80s and 90s, including “It’s Raining Men,” “Man I Feel Like A Woman,” “I Will Survive,” “We are Family,” and many more.
Created by British playwright Louise Roche, “Girls Night: The Musical”, premiered Off-Broadway in the United States in 2009 and continues to play to sold-out audiences. This Off-Broadway gem is hailed by the Wisconsin State Journal as “a boisterous, bust-out, bawdy musical revue” that will have “audiences on their feet, clapping, singing and dancing in the aisles,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
