7/22/2010 - Geva extends the run of Girls Night! News and Press Releases
Rochester’s biggest party of the summer will continue through the 13th of August. Due to popular demand, Geva Theatre Center announces ten additional performances of Girls Night The Musical.
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.
7/15/2010 - Girls Night: The Musical on stage at Geva Review
Call your girlfriends and head to Geva Theatre – It's "Girl's Night Out". That's right. Girls Night: The Musical is now on stage and the party starts the minute the lights come up on stage. The show will have you dancing in your seat.
7/12/2010 - Summer Gets Hotter at Geva! News and Press Releases
As we are currently experiencing a heatwave in Rochester, I thought it only apropos to talk about the heatwave happening in our Mainstage, namely Girls Night the Musical. Think of it as “Sex in the City” meets “Desperate Housewives” with a little Mamma Mia thrown in for good measure.
6/29/2010 - Girls Night: The Musical, Reviewed by Ron Gross Review

6/25/2010 - 'Girl Talk' follows in the fun footsteps of 'Girls Night' News and Press Releases
"Sonya Carter abandoned a 12-year corporate career with American Express to hit the boards with "Girls Night: The Musical," a tale of friends out for a bit of fun one evening. It played in Wilmington twice, and now Carter will be back Tuesday and Wednesday in another production by the same company, the world premiere of "Girl Talk: The Musical." It's more than girls just wanting to have fun, says Carter. "Every night is a new experience. This show is so different in that it really engages the audience. "

6/25/2010 - 'Girl Talk' makes premiere at Dupont Theater News and Press Releases
"Sonya Carter knows there’s no business like show business. “Growing up, I was that kid who always made everybody sit down and watch me dance and sing,” she said over the phone. But, Carter’s road to a career on the stage came a little later in life."
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.
4/9/2010 - Theater Review: ‘Girls Night’ at the Temple Theater in Des Moines Review
SPECIAL TO THE REGISTER The cast of “Girls Night: The Musical” tell the story of five longtime friends, one of whom is a ghost, and belt out 14 classic songs. (Special to the Register)
2/17/2010 - 'Til Death: Late Night Catechism' gives the audience top billing Review
The line on the accompanying pop-out box says “Play review,” but “’Til Death Do Us Part: Late Nite Catechism 3” is more an event. The audience is the show.
7/27/2009 - GIRLS NIGHT: THE MUSICAL at the Downstairs Cabaret at Sofia's Review
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.
9/22/2008 - Get Ready for a Fun "Girls Night" Out Review
The opening night of "Girls Night: The Musical" at Shea's Smith Theatre was an estrogen extravaganza. Under a spinning disco ball, there was raucous laughter, singing and dancing - and that was just the audience.
12/4/2007 - Wimple while you work: Sister leads "Christmas Catechism" Review
So, a nun walks into a theater. No, really. It's not a joke. Not yet.
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.

Summer Gets Hotter at Geva!

Monday, July 12, 2010


Posted by Geva Theatre Center • July 8, 2010 • 5:30 am


As we are currently experiencing a heatwave in
Rochester, I thought it only apropos to talk about the heatwave happening in our Mainstage, namely Girls Night the Musical. Think of it as “Sex in the City” meets “Desperate Housewives” with a little Mamma Mia thrown in for good measure.

There is only one word for this show - HOT!

The cast are blessed with golden vocal cords belting out all those marvelous karaoke anthems which we all know and love: “I’m Every Woman,” “Lady Marmalade,” “Holding Out For a Hero” and “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” The cast interacts throughout the show with the audience and indeed, the crowds go wild!

You would think that a show named Girls Night the Musical would be one that men would tend to shy away from, however, the guys that come to see GNTM enjoy it as much (if not more so) than the women. At the first performance on Tuesday evening, there were two men in the front row who were up on their feet with everyone else.

The cast arrived in town on Monday and for the past two days I have packed their schedules with radio and TV interviews. This is a lovely cast who are a whole lot of fun! These ladies have so much fun on stage and this is infectious. This atmosphere extends to the lobby following the show where the cast come out to meet and greet their audience. Overheard in the lobby: a patron to an usher - “This show was awesome!” Another patron to one of the cast members: “O my gosh - I loved you guys!”

The beauty of this show is that each of the five characters is relatable. We all know someone like Sharon, Liza, Kate, Carol and Anita. The songs are our songs - the songs we grew up with and played on our record players (yes, I mean LP’s - remember them?). They are the soundtrack to our lives. For the men that attend, this show is a glimpse into that to which they are not normally privy - the gossip, reminiscences and sisterhood of longtime female friends. See it with your friends!

(By the way, Girls Night the Musical may be a hot show, but we do have a very comfortable, air-conditioned theatre!)

Girls Night The Musical is on the Mainstage through August 1.
