Back by popular demand, OFC Creations in Brighton announces the return of the Rochester Golden Girls with a brand-new show, after previously performing sold out Golden Girls musical parodies in 2019, 2021, and 2022. Based on the 1980s sitcom, Rochester’s Golden Girls are played by a cast of professional male actors with a brand-new storyline set in the present day.
The new production, She Has Risen: The Golden Girls Musical, running April 11 through 28, is part of OFC’s professional Broadway in Brighton Series, featuring performers from New York City, Los Angeles, and across the country. The show stars Lucas Brady as Dorothy, Hunter Ekberg as Rose, Eric Schutt as Blanche, and Shawn Gray as Sophia.
The musical follows the four friends as they begin to fixate over the one conversation they’ve avoided throughout all the years – politics. As their friendship faces its biggest threat, Rose launches her 2024 campaign to become the President of the United States and has to attend the election’s most important event: The musical debate at Mar-A-Lago.
Comedy ensues as Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia leave their Miami home and begin a hysterical road trip to the debate filled with song and dance from political characters they meet along the way. Paul Urriola, Ben Reiner, and Calvin Staropoli join the cast playing the parts of Nancy Pelosi, Ron DeSantis, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and many more.
The musical comedy features a range of parody tunes, including an intense tap dance battle between Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and the Golden Girls.
“Rochester audiences have spoken – and they can’t get enough of the Golden Girls!” Eric Vaughn Johnson, director, writer, and co-owner of OFC Theatre says with a smile. “By poking fun at all sides of politics of present day, I hope this production brings our world closer together. Or, if nothing else, brings a lot of laughter to our audiences!”
