EAST LANSING – Entertainment Events will present the U.S. premiere tour of the U.K. smash hit "Girls Night: The Musical" at 8 p.m. Jan. 8 and at 2 and 8 p.m. Jan. 9 at Wharton Center's Pasant Theatre. Tickets ($37.50) are on sale now online at http://www.whartoncenter.com, by calling 1-800-WHARTON or at the Wharton Center Box Office.
"Girls Night: The Musical" has earned rave reviews and packed theaters throughout the United Kingdom and three national tours since 2003. It premiered in the U.S. in May 2007 and has toured throughout the U.S. since.
It has been described as "'Desperate Housewives' meets 'Mamma Mia!'" (Applause Magazine), and "as funny and outrageous as 'Sex and The City'!" (The Advocate).
Hilarious and touching, it follows five friends in their 30s and 40s during a wild and outrageous girls' night out at a karaoke bar. Friends since their teens, they have all had their fair share of heartache and tragedy, joy and success. Among the characters: Carol the party girl, blunt Anita who tells it like it is, Liza and her "issues," boring Kate (the designated driver) and Sharon, the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn't resist tagging along. Together, they reminisce about their younger days, celebrate their current lives and look to the future, all the while belting out 14 classic anthems, such as "I Will Survive," "Lady Marmalade," "Man I Feel Like A Woman," "It's Raining Men" and "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," to name just a few.
Written by Louise Roche and directed by Jack Randle, "Girls Night: The Musical" stars Justine Hall (Anita), Carly Sakolove (Carol), Renee Colvert (Sharon), Laurie Gardner (Kate) and Yvette Monique Clark (Liza).
