I thought I'd start a new thread for this touring production - we did have an earlier thread before the pandemic hit that covered two separate shows that were touring at the same time.
I went to see this for a second time last night, it's such a fun show - they cram in loads of references to storylines from all ten series of the TV show and its stars' real lives.
The songs are great fun, some of them are loosely based on numbers from other musicals and pop songs which is an added bonus for us stagey types.
The cast are amazing, they must be fans of the show themselves because they've got the characters' mannerisms down to a tee. It's fast paced with lots of costume changes, and some of the cast play multiple roles as well.
Full disclosure - I do have a family interest here in that my nephew is in the show, but from the reaction of the crowd on both nights, I don't think it's biased of me to be singing its praises!
The tour continues through to the end of May, dates and information can be found on their website (link).
Friends! The Musical Parody takes a hilarious look and remembers the TV phenomenon that ruled the 90’s and became a cultural institution with millions of fans across the globe. Like the original television series, Friends! The Musical Parody follows the lives of six wacky 20-somethings and goes back in time to celebrate and poke fun at some of their most iconic moments as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life, and love in 1990’s Manhattan.
The fun begins on an ordinary day at the corner coffee shop, Central Perk, when a certain runaway bride, with the signature hairstyle, stumbles into the lives of five other friends and kicks the whole gang out of second gear.
Ross, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey and Rachel, haven’t gone anywhere and are singing and dancing their way back into our hearts in a delightful musical parody that harnesses the nostalgia for the iconic TV show and takes it to hilarious new places.
