FRIENDS! THE MUSICAL PARODY
LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE TOUR WITH A SUMMERTIME RUN IN NYC

PREVIEWS BEGIN JULY 19, 2021
OFF-BROADWAY AT THE JERRY ORBACH THEATER

Rachel, Ross, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe are coming back to the Big Apple. As friends across America begin to gather again, Friends! The Musical Parody, the hilarious unauthorized sendup of the iconic tv series, will kick off a national tour with a limited engagement Summertime run July 19-Sept. 19, 2021, in New York City. Immediately following NYC, the North American Tour will hit the road on a 52-city tour starting in San Antonio and traveling through Dallas, Morristown, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Atlanta, San Diego, Anaheim, Seattle and more. Ticket info below.

This is the unauthorized comedic musical that lovingly pokes fun at TV’s Friends, celebrating the adventures of your favorite group of 20-somethings as they navigate the pitfalls of work, life and love in 1990s Manhattan. It’s a typical day at New York’s only coffee shop, Central Perk, until an unexpected runaway bride bursts in and kicks the whole gang out of second gear! The musical recreates favorite moments from all 10 seasons of Friends through an uncensored, fast-paced, music-filled romp. The show is recommended for audiences aged 13+.

Songs include:

• “495 Grove Street – How Can We Afford This Place?”
• “How You Doin’?” – Joey
• “We Were On A Break!” – Ross
• “Oh. My. God. It’s Janice!” – Janice
• “Will They or Won’t They?” – Ross and Rachel
• “The Ballad of Fat Monica”
• “Could I BE Anymore…In Love with You” – Chandler
