Casting has been announced for the New York production of Girls Night: The Musical. Louise Roche’s feel-good show, directed by Jack Randle, will begin performances at the Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia’s on June 2 and open on June 4. The cast features Sonya Carter, Renee Colvert, Laurie Gardner, Justine Hall and Carly Sakalove.

Girls Night: The Musical, has been a hit in the U.K. since 2003. It premiered in the U.S. in May 2007 and has toured across the country since then. Described as Desperate Housewives meets Mamma Mia!, the musical 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 are Carol the party girl, blunt Anita who tells it like it is, Liza with her marital and eating issues, boring Kate the designated driver and Sharon, the not-so-angelic angel who just couldn’t resist tagging along.

The show features an array of classic anthems such as “I Will Survive,” “Lady Marmalade,” “It’s Raining Men,” “Man I Feel Like a Woman,” and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”

This limited engagement runs through July 26.
