"Uproariously funny" -- LA Weekly
"Dig it" -- Village Voice

Angry Girl Gang Productions will present a newly revised production of the acclaimed musical GIRL GANG at The Atlantic Stage 2. This slice of 1950s American juvenile delinquency offers a darkly comic twist to the teen pulp-fiction genre. After a successful run in Los Angeles, it won two A.D.A. (Artistic Director Achievement) Awards for Best Book, Music & Lyrics, and Best Ensemble. It also became a critical hit and audience favorite when it played the Lucille Lortel Theatre during FringeNYC 2004. The current production is General Partner Event with the fourth annual New York Musical Theatre Festival. Previews begin September 22nd with opening scheduled for September 24th.

Girl meets Gang, Girl looses Gang, Girl gets GIRL GANG! Follow DiDi, a clean teen looking to escape her sordid home life, down a path of infamy and eventual redemption in a reform school with other girls gone wild. See our big city's delinquent daughters headed for the juvenile justice system's underworld, singing and swinging their way through hell! Parents may be shocked, but youth will understand.

GIRL GANG runs on the following schedule: Sat 9/22 @ 8:30pm, Sun 9/23 @ 3:00pm & 8:00pm, Mon 9/24 @ 6:30pm, Wed 9/26 @ 3:00pm & 8:00pm, Thur 9/27 @ 8:00pm, Fri 9/28 @ 7:00pm & 10:00pm, Sat 9/29 @ 8:00pm, and Sun 9/30 @ 3:00pm.
