Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue

March 5  \  7:30 pm $39.50 All Ages

“Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue” is a delightful continuation of the beloved television series, set in a modern context while preserving the essence of the original characters. The story brings back the iconic quartet of Miami’s sassiest seniors – Dorothy, Sophia, Blanche, and Rose – each with their unique quirks and humor that fans cherished in the original show.

In this modern rendition, the plot takes a humorous and slightly edgier turn, with Sophia finding herself out on bail after being caught running a drug ring for retirees. Meanwhile, Blanche and Rose have ventured into the digital age by founding CreakN, a successful sex app for seniors. Dorothy, ever the matriarchal figure, tries her best to keep everything together, facing her own set of challenges.

The play, written by Robert Leleux and directed by Eric Swanson, is noted for its character-driven humor that echoes the spirit of the original series, but with updated references and a contemporary twist. The script is filled with witty lines, innuendos, and double entendres, all delivered with expert comedic timing by a talented cast. The production by Murray & Peter Present is acclaimed for its captivating portrayal of the iconic characters, now exploring more adventurous and audacious plotlines while maintaining the heartwarming camaraderie that made “The Golden Girls” a television favorite.

The show’s set design nostalgically reflects a 1990s Floridian atmosphere, and the costume and wig designs are meticulously crafted to represent each character’s distinctive style, capturing the essence of the time period. The performance is an entertaining blend of nostalgia and contemporary humor, making it a fabulous outing for fans of the original series and newcomers alike
