Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue at Broadway Playhouse

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"..."Thank You For Being A Friend"! That is the theme song that told us we were about to see "The Golden Girls", a sharply written sit-com from the 1980's about 4 mature women living together in Miami and the joys and angst of their "golden years". It was always funny and in particular Dorothy's mother Sophia ( the original was brought to life by the amazing Estelle Getty). , and in the parody, now on stage of The Broadway Playhouse, as part of this season's Broadway In Chicago series, handled by Christopher Kamm ( it appears that he studies every move made by Getty and has mastered the role). Yes, this show is a parody and is in "drag" with all four of these characters being played by men!"

"...I absolutely adored Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue directed by Eric Swanson, now playing at Broadway Playhouse. Having grown up in Miami, Florida with my working single mom when the show actually began airing, the Golden Girls have always been a nostalgic favorite for me. The only stage creations I've seen of Golden Girls have all been done in drag by some of the best drag actors and actresses in Chicago, so I was pleasantly surprised with this beautifully casted production to see the fantastic accuracy and sense of humor that came alive in this very funny and fast paced take on our four golden heroes."

Chicago Culture Authority - Highly Recommended

"...Chicago, a city with a vibrant gay cultural scene and bragging rights for launching the concept of staged sitcom reenactments with The Real Live Brady Bunch at the Annoyance Theatre in the early 90s, is the perfect spot for a couple of multi-week sit downs by Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue, currently in its second year of touring."

"...Many overt sexual acronyms skated over my head, leaving me wishing I had an urban dictionary at hand and not clueless concerning modern hook-up terminology. Some of the physical comedy honestly made me cringe. I enjoyed the improv references to trending topics like the Stanley Thermoses, Chicago's Rathole imprint, and the original actors' other roles. Talking to many of the guests during intermission who were unfamiliar with the veiled allusions to the original actors' other roles did not diminish their enthusiasm for the experience. The consensus was this is a funny laugh-out-loud show as confirmed by enthusiastic audience engagement."
