For most of us, the idea of reliving high school is nothing short of a nightmare. When Romy and Michele are invited to their ten-year high school reunion, Michele envisions the whole
experience as a fun road trip, while Romy, very reluctantly, agrees to go but only if they come up with something to impress their classmates. To this end, the two hatch an outrageous scheme to totally re-invent themselves. With an ’80s and ’90s pop-inspired score, Romy & Michele: The Musical is an absolute feel-good joyride.
Based on the cult film classic Romy & Michele’s High School Reunion, the musical features a book by the film’s screenwriter Robin Schiff, music and lyrics by Gwendolyn Sanford and Brandon Jay (“Orange is the New Black”), music supervision, arrangements, and orchestrations by Keith Harrison Dworkin (Emojiland), choreography by Karla Garcia, and direction by Kristin Hanggi (Rock of Ages). Romy & Michele: The Musical is produced by Barry Kemp, Stephen Soucy, Peter Schneider, and Laurence Mark with Showtown Productions serving as Executive Producer.
