After selling out its original run as well as two extensions last season, THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND with return for another limited run engagement. This unauthorized musical parody inspired by the beloved TV sitcom “The Golden Girls,” features book by Nick Brennan, music by Jeff Thomson, and lyrics by Luke Jones and Cisco Cardenas. It is directed by Nick Brennan featuring choreography by Amy Corcoran, orchestrations by Adam Gubman and design by Luke Jones.Performances will run June 13 - Juy 26 at The Kraine Theater.
In THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND four women over 60 (Blanchette, the varicose-veined vixen; Dorthea, the brainy ball-buster; Roz, the lovable airhead; and Sophie, the wisecracking spitfire) are spending their golden years together in a bungalow in Miami. But when gay pop superstar Lance Bass moves next door, his loud outdoor sex parties keep the quartet of cheesecake-loving retirees awake. The solution pits the gays against the girls at the annual Shady Oaks Retirement Home Talent Show: if the women win, then no more sex parties; if the gays garner top prize, the sassy seniors must serve as the party's clean-up crew. Singing, dancing and hilarity ensues!
This newly revised 2010 production features Nick Brennan, Jake Lemmenes (Twist!), Susan Campanaro, Jason B. Schmidt (The Gayest Christmas Pageant Ever!), Belinda Hodler (Cock Tales, Triumph of the Underdog) and Joey Army as Lance Bass.
THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND runs June 13 - July 26, Sundays at 8pm. The Kraine Theater is located at 85 East 4th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Aves -- accessible from the F train at 2nd Ave). Tickets are $20, available at 212-352-3101 or www.SpinCycleNYC.com.
