Girls Night: The Musical

There’s still time to see the hit off Broadway musical, Girls Night , now playing at The Laguna Playhouse until June 5^th. This boisterous musical will have you standing up and dancing in the aisles to classic girl-power songs like “I’m Every Woman,” “I Will Survive” and “Man, I Feel Like a Woman.” It’s a story that follows five friends as they head out for a night at a karaoke bar. Friends since their teens and now in their 30s and 40s, the women reminisce about their younger days, celebrate their current lives, and look to what the future holds.

I took one of my long-time girlfriends (friends for 15 years) and we found ourselves not only singing along, but also relating to the ladies in the show…characteristics we saw in ourselves and in other friends of ours. We doubled over laughing at the ladies antics as they sang and danced. Truly there is nothing like a girlfriend that has known you through the ups and downs of life, so grab your best girl or girls and dance on over to The Laguna Playhouse to catch one of the final performances of Girls Night Out.
