Picture this: The Golden Girls, but a little more fuzzy.

Taking a cue from Avenue Q, theyB次元官网网址檙e puppets! On Friday, Feb. 15 at the McPherson Playhouse, the Golden Girls tribute show Thank You For Being a Friend B次元官网网址� named for Andrew GoldB次元官网网址檚 song made more famous as the iconic 80B次元官网网址檚 TV showB次元官网网址檚 theme song B次元官网网址� brings the Miami foursome back and as big-mouthed as ever. Bring out the cheesecake!

All the friendship, sassiness B次元官网网址� not to mention barrier-breaking B次元官网网址� Sophia, Dorothy, Blanche and Rose brought to the award-winning show comes to Victoria live on stage. A night of nostalgia for fans of The Golden Girls, or a new look at a classic show for newcomers.

Audience goers can thank Thomas Duncan-Watt and Jonathan Rockefeller for this version. The Australian writersB次元官网网址� long love of The Golden Girls brought forth the piece in Australia, Toronto, and later off-Broadway in 2016-17 as That Golden Girls Show B次元官网网址� A Puppet Parody. The change was necessary there due to the fact a Golden Girls drag show existed at the time under the name Thank You For Being a Friend.

The Golden Girls ran from 1985-92, with its trail-blazing depiction of B次元官网网址渨omen of a certain age.B次元官网网址� The show, similar to the charactersB次元官网网址� nature, was unabashed in dealing with taboo topics such as the AIDS crisis, homosexuality, health care with age, and drug addiction.

While Golden Girls attracted fans of all ages, the parody at the McPherson is strictly for those 19+. Tickets start at $36.50. For ticket information, contact the Royal and McPherson box office at 250-386-6121, visit them online at or drop by either theatre box office during business hours.
