Girls Night: The Musical Extends Off-Broadway Run

Girl's Night: The Musical, the off-Broadway premiere of the U.K. hit, has extended its limited run at Downstairs Cabaret Theatre at Sofia's. The show, written by Louise Roche and directed by Jack Randle, opened on June 2 and was scheduled to close on July 26. Due to ticket demand, the production will now run through August 30.

The cast features Sonya Carter, Renee Colvert, Laurie Gardner, Justine Hall and Carly Sakalove.

Girls Night: The Musical, has been a success in the U.K. since 2003. It premiered in the U.S. in May 2007 and has toured 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.”
