B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 all the ingredients of the Golden Girls show that you know and love B次元官网网址� just kind of mixed up in a different way B次元官网网址� completely through a 2024 lens so itB次元官网网址檚 kind of fun. ItB次元官网网址檚 like seeing old friends after a long time and catching up with what they have got going on.B次元官网网址� 

The tribute show kicks off with Sophia being out on bail after selling drugs to seniors, while Blanche and Rose launch a dating app for seniors.

The touring show is in its second year and is making its way to Canada for the first time and Kelley said the feedback has been great so far. 

B次元官网网址淧eople love the show. ItB次元官网网址檚 so beloved, multi-generational, so we love to be able to give people something new. Even if you have seen every episode 10 times, you have never seen our episode so it is a brand-new story so thatB次元官网网址檚 super fun,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淲e have got a lot of great Easter eggs in there for super fans.B次元官网网址� 

The show is unique because men actors play the role of the Golden Girls. The release noted it is not a drag show, but a tribute show with men playing the role of women. 

B次元官网网址淭he Golden Girls are just such iconic characters, as well as the four women who played these parts, so sometimes it takes a bigger foot to fill such iconic shoes," Kelley said. "Just because of the nature of our show and the humour B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 a little bit more fun to have a guy in a dress in a big old wig saying some of these ridiculous scenarios that we happen to find ourselves in. ItB次元官网网址檚 just a different way to do things that we chose. I think that you could definitely do a Golden Girls reboot with four women and I would love to see it and I think it would be super fun, but our show is just trying to do something a little different.B次元官网网址� 

The show will be at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo from Nov. 6-8 and Victoria's McPherson Playhouse on Nov. 9-10. For audiences 18 and older.
