7/21/2010 - Girls Night is definitely one for the ladies! Review
But the less-than-traditional audience that filled the theater was merely a reflection of the show on stage. As the name suggests, "Girls Night" is definitely one for the ladies, although there were a handful of brave men in the crowd on opening night. ("Suckers!" the welcoming voice-over playfully taunted.) On the surface "Girls Night" appears to be a glorified bachelorette party onstage, but at its core, the show is a relatively rousing two-hour celebration of girl power.

4/28/2010 - "Girls" is a Bunch of Fun Review
From The Philadelphia Inquirer, By Toby Zinman: The "girls" who came to see Girls Night were every age, shape, size, race, and color. There were even a few guys. A group of 11 high school teachers was sitting next to me. Everybody seemed to have the same good time. The show's unpretentious fun and the talented, unembarrassable women on stage had all of the audience on their feet, clapping, singing, and dancing in the aisles.

When the whole audience joins in to chant "I Will Survive," you realize that "Girls Night: The Musical" is not just a silly bachelorette-flavored night on the town. It's a rally. It involves the audience deeply and sincerely in a way that the current Broadway production of "Hair," in its earnestness, can only envy.

10/31/2007 - Paramount musical celebrates female friendships News and Press Releases
There's nothing quite so entertaining as watching girls who just want to have fun. They can be catty and cynical, silly or serious, weepy or wistful. And they've evene been known to get a bit raunchy every now and then - usually after midnight and only with the most innocent of intentions.
10/25/2007 - Sister rules, with sharp humor and nostalgia Review
"Late Nite Catechism" at the Olney Theatre Center for the Arts through Nov. 11, takes a hilarious and nostalgic look at parochial school education 40-some years ago, and incorporates many of the changes in the church since then, but it is never unkind or cynical about either the old or the new ways.

There's nothing quite so entertaining as watching girls who just want to have fun. Surely you've seen them out on the town: High-fiving amid high-pitched squeals two tables over at the local comedy club; flirting outrageously with the half-their-age bartender at the corner pub; toastin their new a) promotion; b) boyfriend; c) shrinking waistline at the trendy new restaurant. They can be catty or cynical, silly or serious, weepy or wistful. And they're known to get a bit raunchy every now and then - after midnight and only with the most innocent of intentions. I didn't call any experts on this one, but I'd venture to say women have a better time than their male counterparts when they manage to escape K.P. for the night. Why? Because after removing our aprons and climbing onto that corporate ladder in our quest to reach the glass ceiling, we've managed to look down on the bigger picture, heave a big sigh and shout, "Hey, this is kinda liberating...let's have another glass of Chardonnay!" Which is exactly why the England-based Girls Night: The Musical has been such a big hit since it landed here in the states. The story follows five friends in a wild night out at a karaoke bar. Among the characters are party-girl Carol; tell-it-like-it-is Anita; emotionally fragile Lisa; boring Kate (the designated driver); and angelic Sharon, who, it turns out, is the spirit of their dearly departed friend, tagging along to keep an eye on her buddies as she offers commentary to the audience. What's really heavenly is that this popular musical is making its Chicago stop in our own backyard - at the beautiful Paramount Theatre from Nov. 6 to Nov. 8. I plan on being in the audience with my own posse, which just happens to include party-girl Annie and tell-it-like-it-is Donna. Like female friends tend to be, we are a diverse group. Some, like me, are newly divorced; one is widowed; others are happily married (some, more so than others). And even though we don't always agree - on politics, religion or the best way to handle male egos - we share one thing in common. We have each other's backs. And we like to kick up our heels every once in a while to celebrate friendships that have lasted through the tears, the fears and the Cubs/Sox crosstown rivalry. "People come up to us after the show and tell us which of their friends match the characters," said actress Janine Smith, who plays sexy Carol in the musical. "Or they tell us, 'Oh my gosh, I just said that very same thing the other night.'" Smith assures me there's lots of audience participation. In addition to verbal interplay, because the show is set in a karaoke bar, there are plenty of chances to sing along - and the audience has been known to get up and dance in the aisles. "It's not Shakespeare," said Smith. "It's just funny stuff." |
