Friendship takes center stage in The BFF Notebook, a brand-new musical making its debut at the ESL Rochester Fringe Festival. Performances will take place at The Harley School Centrum (1981 Clover Street, Rochester, NY 14618) on Saturday, September 20, at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The BFF Notebook tells the story of neighbors and best friends Bridget and Amy, who chose not to keep private diaries, but instead chronicled their formative years together in a single shared notebook. Filled with confessions, inside jokes and dreams of the future, their notebook became a living record of their friendship.
This original song cycle unpacks their journey through a collection of fresh, heartfelt numbers—including “Delusional,” “Lifelong Friends” and “Space Song”—capturing the humor, heartbreak and hope of adolescence and beyond. Ali Murphy will join the songstresses on stage to play piano.
“The show is a celebration of the beautiful mess of growing up,” said Rochester native and co-creator Amy Azzara. “It’s about friendship that endures through every awkward stage, every big dream and every page of the notebook.”
The BFF Notebook is family-friendly and open to all ages. Tickets are $12 and may be purchased in advance at RochesterFringe.com or at the door. Free parking is available at The Harley School.
